Club World Cup fan areas to offer family-friendly entertainment before matches

There will be activities for the whole family at the Fan Entertainment Areas being organised especially for the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2019.

The entertainment areas will be located at both tournament venues: Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium and Khalifa International Stadium.

They will open three hours before kick-off on each match day and feature food and beverage stalls, entertainment and a host of family-friendly activities.

Both stadiums are accessible via the Doha Metro, making it easy for fans to get to and from the venues. Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium is served by Al Sudan station (Gold Line), while Khalifa International Stadium is served by Sport City station (Gold Line).

Match ticket holders will benefit from free travel on Doha Metro on match days.

Nasser Al Khater, CEO of the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2019 Local Organising Committee, said: "We're excited to be hosting Fan Entertainment Areas at both tournament venues during the FIFA Club World Cup. We are sure they will prove popular attractions for both local and international fans.

"As well as providing a host of fun activities for all visitors, we hope the entertainment gives people a taste of Qatar's inclusive and diverse culture, along with a glimpse of the remarkable FIFA World Cup that we will host in 2022."

Jean-François Pathy, FIFA's Director of Marketing Services, added: "We're delighted to have energetic and welcoming places for fans to celebrate at during this year's FIFA Club World Cup.
