Free match screenings at Oxygen Park from today

-

Football fans from Qatar and around the world are invited to watch the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 action unfold at Qatar Foundation’s (QF) Education City – as it hosts free family-friendly screenings of the tournament’s matches.

The free screenings at Oxygen Park begin today. There will be numerous activities for families to enjoy, along with access to food and beverage outlets. Those attending the screenings do not need to have a Hayya card.

To arrive at the screening venue in Oxygen Park, QF has advised the public to take the Doha Metro Green Line and get off at either Al Shaqab station or Qatar National Library station.

From there, they may take the Education City Tram or walk for around 15 minutes to reach Oxygen Park. Those wishing to drive may park at the top level of P34 (South East Car Park – Al Shaqab) and take the Tram or walk to the park. They can also arrive by taxi directly without any restrictio­ns.

The Oxygen Park parking will not be accessible. Throughout the four-week sporting showpiece, Education City – home to one of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 stadiums – will be open for everyone to enjoy a range of events and activities, and its popular green space Oxygen Park will house a big screen showing 22 games live.

From Friday, games will be shown at Oxygen Park on every match day during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 except on days when the Education City Stadium is hosting games.

The full schedule, and guidance on how to access Education City to watch the match screenings – with visitors being advised to use public transport – can be found at https://www.qf.org.qa/events/ match-screenings-at-oxygen-park

During the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, through its campaign ‘It’s Only Football if it’s For All’, QF will be offering an array of festivals, activation­s, and fun for the local, regional, and global community at Education City, all designed with accessibil­ity in mind.

These include the second edition of QF’s D’reesha Performing Arts Festival, which takes place from December 11-17 at Oxygen Park under the theme of ‘Travel and Adventure’ and will showcase the richness and vibrancy of Arab culture to the world.
