FIFA 2022 Fan Zones Around the World

FIFA 2022 Fan Zones

FIFA Fan Zones and FIFA Fan Festivals are special areas set up at FIFA World Cup events where fans can come together to watch matches, celebrate their team’s successes, and connect with other fans from around the world.

At the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, there will be five FIFA Fan Zones located in Qatar’s five host cities: Doha, Al Khor, Al Wakrah, Education City, and Lusail. Each Fan Zone will be able to accommodate up to 10,000 fans, and will feature a giant screen showing all the live action, as well as food and drink stalls, music, and entertainment.

The FIFA Fan Festivals are even bigger events, and are held in major cities around the world during the World Cup. The 2022 FIFA World Cup will see Festivals taking place in London, New York, San Paolo, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, and Seoul, apart from Doha.
