(MENAFN- The Peninsula) #Arab Cup 2021

Doha: Excitement is building in Qatar as 16 national teams prepare to battle it out for the FIFA Arab Cup from 30 November, 2021 to 18 December, 2021. Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) is planning a number of cultural activities for fans to enjoy during the tournament.

Those attending FIFA Arab Cup matches will experience pre and post-match activations around five tournament venues: Al Bayt, Ahmad Bin Ali, Al Janoub, Al Thumama and Stadium 974. This will include music, dance, folklore and other performances from communities representing Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Morocco, Sudan and others. Cultural events will be located in the last mile area and metro/bus stations near the stadiums, with a total of 200 performances in 60 locations set to take place during the tournament.

Away from the tournament venues, fans will have the opportunity to enjoy some exciting activities along the Doha Corniche – thanks to a collaboration between the SC, Qatar Tourism, the Ministry of Culture and Katara. Numerous performances will take place on three mini stages along the Corniche at the Qatar International Food Festival, with performers coming from local communities that represent the participating teams in the tournament. Corniche activities will be open to the public on weekdays from 6pm to 10pm and weekends from 5pm to 12am until Friday 3 December.
“The FIFA Arab Cup provides a wonderful opportunity for our diverse communities to be part of this important event, as Qatar prepares to host the world in a year's time,” said Khaled Al Suwaidi, the SC's Stakeholder Relations Director.“These activations will enhance the atmosphere, as fans make their way to the stadiums for matches or to enjoy the sights of the Corniche in the daytime or evening.”
Qatar's communities will also be given the opportunity to engage and interact with the tournament through the FIFA Arab Cup Trophy Experience. The trophy is currently being exhibited at various community schools, centres and tourist attractions across the country. Fans can have their photo taken with the trophy at numerous venues.
Members of the public are reminded that Corniche Street will be closed to traffic in both directions until 4 December. Road users are advised to take alternative routes or use public transportation.
