With only hours left for the FIFA World Cup to begin in Qatar, football fans in Dubai can look forward to watching matches at fan zones that have opened in the city.
At Expo City Dubai, giant screens have been set up at Jubilee Park and Al Wasl Dome. A wide selection of food and drinks will be on sale, ensuring a festival atmosphere throughout the tournament.
Opening in time for the first whistle on Sunday, November 20, Fan City at Jubilee Park can accommodate 10,000 spectators. The venue has a shisha lounge, beverage tent and jumbo television screens, organisers said.
The fan zone at Jubilee Park will be open from 5pm to 1.30am on weekdays, and midday until 1.30am during weekends. Admission is Dh30 and children under the age of 12 can enter for free.
At the entrance of Fan City, a podium featuring 32 mannequins wearing the official kits of the teams taking part in the World Cup will welcome spectators. The zone will have a family-friendly section with bean bags, picnic tables and food trucks.
People can park close to fan city at Jubilee Park and reach the zone after a five-minute walk. Spectators can watch the matches on a wide main screen measuring seven metres by 11 metres.
Another screen has been installed in the activity area where families and friends can test their skills in agility courses, foot volley courts, penalty kick activations, foosball and a PlayStation area.
Hospitality guests will also receive a complimentary one-day Expo City Dubai Attraction Pass valid until December 31. Fans can buy tickets online through Expo City Dubai or Platinumlist website.
