Even as Dubai plays its role as a ‘gateway’ for World Cup fans travelling to Doha, the city will host pop-ups, alfresco experiences, and several fan zones that will broadcast the games live.
Dubai is pulling out all stops and rolling out the festivities to allow residents and visiting fans to catch and enjoy the global spectacle at buzzing hotspots within the emirate. Dubai Calendar, part of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism and the official listing platform for events in the city, has announced the highlights of football fan zones in Dubai, inviting residents and visitors to celebrate the sporting season in varied destinations across the emirate.
As the sporting season moves into top gear with the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 set to kick off next week, the city’s hotels and airports are working in tandem with its football-themed zones, sports lounges, and family-friendly destinations to welcome sports enthusiasts, including many first-time visitors to the region.
BudX FIFA Fan Festival at Dubai Harbour will be one of the six international flagship FIFA Fan Festivals worldwide. The others will be in London, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Seoul.
