Football fever is officially taking over the UAE as McGettigan’s announces the launch of its FIFA Fan Zones in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, promising to screen every single match live throughout the tournament, something rarely seen at this scale across the region.
Set across two of the UAE’s most exciting destinations, the fan zones will take place at Bla Bla by McGettigan’s in Dubai and Reem Mall in Abu Dhabi, transforming both venues into high-energy hubs where fans can come together to experience every goal, every moment, and every match in an electric, stadium-style atmosphere.
With general admission tickets starting from AED 60, fully redeemable on food and beverages, fans can enjoy the action without missing out on the full social experience, while VIP packages will also be available for those looking to elevate their matchday. Tickets for the group stages are now live at www.mcgettigans.com/fanzone
Designed as more than just a place to watch football, the fan zones will feature large screens, live entertainment, and brand activations, particularly on key match days, bringing together some of the city’s best performers to keep the energy high from kick-off to final whistle.
Food and drink will be tailored to match the rhythm of the tournament, ensuring fans are catered to no matter what time their team plays. From breakfast options for early kick-offs to late-night bites and sharing plates for evening matches, the experience is built around the way fans watch football, together.
Adding to the excitement, McGettigan’s will also serve as the home of the official England Supporters Club throughout the tournament, creating a dedicated space for fans to come together and celebrate every match.
To mark the launch, a “Win the World Cup” social media competition will go live on Monday, giving one lucky winner the chance to attend every single match day at the fan zone. Fans can head to @fanzonebymcgettigans for full details on how to enter.
Speaking on the launch, Dennis McGettigan said:
“This is exactly what McGettigan’s is all about, bringing people together for the moments that matter. We wanted to create something that feels as close to being at the game as possible, showing every match, building the atmosphere, and giving fans a place to really be part of it. Whether it’s your first game of the day or the last one at night, there will always be something happening.”
With two cities, two fan zones, and every match covered, McGettigan’s is set to become the ultimate destination for football fans across the UAE this tournament season.
