php - How to display footer widgets on a page dependant on a url containing a specific string

Question

I have realised that my events page does not display my footer widgets. I had this problem with my woocommerce pages and I fixed it by including the following in the functions.php file:

if ( is_woocommerce() )
    include( 'template-parts/footer-menus-widgets.php' );

So I need to do something similar. My thinking is to check the url so that if the url contains /events then display the footer widget.

Does anybody know how to do that?

Thank you

This is how I solved it, this code checks if the url contains a string of /events. Include this in the functions.php code:

 if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/events' )!==false)
    include( 'template-parts/footer-menus-widgets.php' );
