FOOTBALL fans from Qatar and around the world are being 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.
Throughout the four-week sporting showpiece, Education City – home to one of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 stadiums – will be open to everyone to enjoy a range of events and activities, and its popular green space Oxygen Park will have a big screen showing 22 games live, starting with four matches on Friday, November 25, and including next month’s semifinals and final.
Qatar’s group games against Senegal (Friday, November 25) and the Netherlands (Tuesday, November 29) will be among the matches screened at Education City, with activities being provided for families to enjoy alongside the football, and food and beverage outlets available. Those attending the screenings do not need to have a Hayya card.
From November 25, 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.
