If you’re already thinking about where to watch the World Cup in Abu Dhabi, Reem Island has one spot worth locking in early. McGettigan’s is bringing a World Cup Fan Zone to Reem Mall, from June 11 to July 19. If you’re not travelling to the tournament this summer, you can still stay close to the action.
If you’ve been to McGettigan’s in Dubai, you already know how it gets on match days. Games on large screens, fans gathering for every kick, goal, and last-minute finish. A lot of eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo and his team going for the trophy, so you’ll be able to catch every game in the right atmosphere.
A second Fan Zone by McGettigan’s will be in Dubai at Bla Bla during the same dates.
Expect food, drinks, entertainment, and of course, a lot of noise! Everything you need for a great match day. The Fan Zone will stay open for the entire World Cup, so you won’t miss a single moment. You can pick your match and book tickets here.
The Fan Zone in Abu Dhabi is only the start. After the end of the World Cup, more concepts are planned for the space, with details still to come.
