The recent solar eclipse had a notable impact on various sporting events across Europe, with fans and teams adapting in creative ways to witness the phenomenon.

At Edgbaston, during the men's Hundred match between Birmingham Phoenix and MI London, organizers issued warnings to fans about safely viewing the eclipse. The event became a unique spectacle as the solar eclipse was visible behind the floodlights.

Arsenal took proactive measures by encouraging fans attending their home pre-season friendly against Como to wear protective glasses. While some supporters had the appropriate eyewear, others devised their own methods to safely observe the eclipse. Notably, some Arsenal fans ingeniously used cardboard and a colander to catch a glimpse of the celestial event.

The solar eclipse also coincided with the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, where attendees were treated to an impressive view during the third day of competition.

In another instance, a PSG fan attempted to watch the solar eclipse before the French side's Super Cup match against Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Real Madrid players were seen warming up at Deportivo La Coruna's stadium, where fans donned special glasses prior to their pre-season friendly against Real Madrid.

These adaptations highlight the unique intersection of sports and natural phenomena, showcasing the creativity and enthusiasm of fans across different events.
