Doha, Qatar: As football fans made their way to the Education City Stadium for the first of its FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 matches, they were greeted by an array of Qatar Foundation-organised activities focused on cultural heritage, innovation – and fun.
Activations within Education City on the route to and from the stadium – which tonight hosted the group-stage encounter between Saudi Arabia v Oman – included interactive STEM elements organized with Qatar Foundation (QF) entities, sparking supporters’ curiosity through a blend of sports, science, and technology.
And acts such as stilt walkers, marching bands, DJs, and football freestylers entertained supporters on their walk to the stadium, which is staging five matches during the tournament.
Next on the Education City Stadium’s FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 agenda is Oman v Morocco at 5.30pm on Friday 5 December, followed by Syria v Palestine (8pm, Sunday, December 7), Bahrain v Sudan (8pm, Tuesday, December 9), and a quarter-final match at 5.30pm on Friday, December 12. The activations on the way to the stadium will be available for everyone to experience and enjoy at all these matches
