Take part in Villa Park light show against Ajax

Our mobile phone light show returns to Villa Park on Thursday night as Aston Villa take on Ajax.

Following on from our matches against Sheffield United and Newcastle United, when Villa became the first football club in the UK to stage a mobile phone light show, the pre-match activity is back this week to enable supporters to play their part in adding to the electric atmosphere on matchday.

The stands of our famous home will once again be lit up in a unique way before kick-off as the light show takes centre stage, and supporters are encouraged to be a part of it. 

To get involved, simply download the official Aston Villa app and follow the instructions below…

(Please note, an internet connection is not required to operate the light show on your mobile app)

Step 1
