Based at the old Granada Studios site, the park will include 450 tonnes of sand to create a Brazilian-style beach soccer stadium.

It will also include a 40 square metre big screen to broadcast games live during the tournament.

During the group stages, the arena will host beach soccer matches between England's beach soccer team and players from Italy, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Germany.

Other areas in the park will include a Little Copacabana for relaxation, a High Tempo Zone where fans can show off their skills and a selection of Brazilian-themed food and drink stalls.

Games kick off during the tournament at 5pm, 8pm and 9pm and tickets can be purchased for the park at itv.com/feverpitch from Saturday, May 17.
