HIA’s chief operating officer Badr Mohammed al-Meer said, “As the official airport partner of the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East, we are delighted to be hosting several activations and events at our premises – celebrating the tournament with our travellers and proudly representing the State of Qatar. Curated for all passengers, the FIFA-themed activations will provide our visitors with a variety of options to discover HIA’s world-class services and hospitality.”
The kids’ zones at HIA feature a variety of activities, including interactive drawings, face painting, a soccer ball pit and giant Lego set-ups. The mosaic photo wall, located next to the famous lamp bear at the centre of the airport’s south plaza, provides passengers with the opportunity to have their picture taken and become part of the legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
In collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in Qatar, several activity booths have been installed at HIA’s north plaza – including WHO’s ‘Sport for Health’ and ‘Bring the Moves’ campaigns.
