Msheireb Dowtown Doha’s (MDD) premium zones will offer live screenings of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 matches, Msheireb Properties public relations and communication manager Maryam al-Jassim said.
The Barahat Zone will serve as the hub for live viewing either on a giant screen or in special pods, she told media on the sidelines of a press conference announcing the World Cup activations at MDD, surrounded by famous landmarks such as Souq Waqif, the Doha Corniche, and the main metro station – Msheireb.
Besides the Barahat Zone, the official pointed out that many of the hotels within the district are also expected to offer live screenings of the matches throughout the prestigious tournament.
She urged football fans, residents and visitors to explore the different activation zones, including the Heritage Zone, which hosts Al Annabi Village. Located at the company house at Msheireb Museums, it will serve as the Qatar National Team’s celebration hub, in partnership with Qatar Football Association and Qatar Shell.
The Heritage Zone also houses the Universo Olivetti exhibition, a gallery of graphics and architectural models that tells the story of the Italian visionary “Adriano Olivetti”; and the Frida Kahlo - The Immersive Biography, an emotional and immersive journey through the life story of one of the world’s most iconic artists.
The Sikka Zone will be hosting the Intaj – Film, Television, and Theatre exhibition (from November 8) – a multimedia exhibition of Qatar’s cinema, film making and theatre movements by the Doha Film Institute; Mawater Warehouse Exhibition, a showcase of unique cars (from November 15); and Host Country Media Centre, which provides broadcast and media facilities for 2,000 journalists; among other activations.
“This will be the best version of the World Cup, and we welcome all visitors to see the beautiful Msheireb Downtown Doha,” al-Jassim said.
She added that football fans would also have the chance to see the ‘Forever Valentino Exhibition’ at M7 – the largest to date and its first presentation in the Middle East.
