Address Beach Resort has a World Cup Fan Zone by the sea
The 2022 FIFA World Cup hasn’t even been underway for a full week, and already we’ve been treated to a lot of delicious soccer drama. There have been shocking results, incredible goals, and contentious VAR calls, and the recent trend of Japanese fans cleaning up their stadiums is a refreshingly good idea. This year’s celebrations have an especially close feel because they are taking place in one of our GCC neighbor states.
Address Beach Resort, one of JBR’s newest luxury beachfront hotels, has a fan zone tent near the Arabian Gulf between Bluewaters, Dubai Marina, and Jumeirah Beach.
The 250-seat, air-conditioned, thematically decorated venue has multiple screens so you never miss a shot, save, sending off, or referee yelling. To streamline food and beverage service, you can buy refreshment tokens at the door. Entry is free.
The snacking MVPs on the dining team sheet are a big upgrade from soccer spectator pub grub. Sharing-friendly dishes include aromatic vegetable spring rolls, finger-licking chicken popcorn, fresh-from-the-catch fried calamari, and boujee burger bites like grilled Boston sliders, starting at Dhs 50.
The Fan Zone’s celebrations and commiserations may reach a fever pitch amid the Address Beach Resort’s lush gardens. Outside, calm reigns. The Fan Zone will be open from 12.30 to 2 a.m. until December 18. Visitors can valet their cars for free and enjoy live entertainment between matches. A refreshment station with drinks and snacks will ensure an unforgettable experience. Visitors will receive this for free. All tournament-goers can relax, watch the games, and soak up the atmosphere in the Fan Zone. Guests can watch the games comfortably with plenty of seating and shade. The Fan Zone will also have many interactive activities to entertain visitors all day.
