HIA hosting exciting World Cup activities for all passengers
Millions of travelers traveling through Hamad International Airport (HIA) will be able to experience the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 to the fullest thanks to the airport’s ongoing hosting of a variety of thrilling activations and events.
Offering inbound and outbound travellers an extended memorable experience and an opportunity to be part of the Legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the events at HIA include match day themed performances, a mosaic photo wall, a number of kids’ zones, fan zones and viewing zones.
This is in addition to interactive virtual activities like the AR football — an augmented reality interactive activity with La’eeb mascot reacting with the players — and a dedicated ‘try your teams’ jersey’ booth for football fans to pose for photos with their favourite team jersey and have them sent directly to their email — and more.
Activations can be found in and around HIA’s expanded terminal, located in concourses A, B, and C. Fan and kids’ zones can be found across all concourses.
HIA COO, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al Meer said: “As the official airport partner of the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East, we are delighted to be hosting several activations and events at our premises — celebrating the tournament with our travellers and proudly representing the State of Qatar. Curated for all passengers, the FIFA-themed activations will provide our visitors with a variety of options to discover HIA’s world-class services and hospitality.”
The kids’ zones at HIA feature a variety of activities, including interactive drawings, face painting, a soccer ball pit and giant Lego set-ups.
The mosaic photo wall, located next to the famous lamp bear at the centre of the airport’s south plaza, provides passengers with the opportunity to have their picture taken and become part of the legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in Qatar, several activity booths have been installed at HIA’s north plaza, including WHO’s “Sport for Health” and “Bring the Moves” campaigns.
The two-time World’s Best Airport, as recognized by Skytrax, is prepared to welcome millions of travelers from all over the world to an incredible location right in the heart of the Middle East as the Official Airport Partner of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
