Visitors can revel in the excitement of the tournament with live screenings of matches at Barahat Msheireb, taking place daily from 4pm to 11pm until February 10. The evening games are projected onto M7.
According to the organisers, the live screening at MDD is a celebration of Asian football, creating a fitting and enjoyable atmosphere for spectators in the heart of Barahat Msheireb.
The venue has become a favourite location for many visitors, especially families, due to its football-themed activities designed for children’s enjoyment.
Hosting booths for the 24 participating countries in the tournament, Sikkat Wadi Msheireb has transformed into a vibrant celebration of customs and cultures as it features food, cultural exhibits, and craft experiences.
Such offerings provide an immersive opportunity for visitors to learn about the diverse cultures participating in the sports event. The various authentic Asian cuisines at food and beverage outlets also continue to entice foodies.
Sahat Wadi Msheireb, meanwhile, allows football fans to engage in friendly matches with its custom-built Human Foosball Arena. Up to 16 players can enter the cage at once, mimicking a regular foosball table, with live entertainment providing commentary and music. The registration fee for this unique experience is QR20.
MDD also offers a cultural feast for visitors as the tournament progresses as it is set to host live performances by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra on January 26 and 27, featuring World Football and Movie Classics. In addition, on February 4 and 5, visitors can enjoy Golden Classics from the Gulf Region. These ticketed performances start at 7:30 pm.
For cinema enthusiasts, MDD provides a journey into the world of Arab cinema through a unique exhibition at Sikkat Wadi Msheireb, available until Saturday.
