The drama and excitement of the ongoing World Cup unfolds daily at the Emirates Palace, giving football fans in Abu Dhabi and nearby areas the chance to share the thrill and exhilaration of each goal in every single match.
The World Cup action is being broadcast as part of the Palace’s ongoing Golden Goals promotion, where football enthusiasts can catch all the games live with four complimentary drinks and a sumptuous BBQ buffet for only AED 150.
Football fans come in all shapes and sizes, donning the colours of their favourite teams creating such a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere at the especially constructed air-conditioned amphitheatre at the huge, manicured lawns of the Emirates Palace.
In addition to the football matches, fans availing of the Golden Goals promotion are also enjoying the football video game contests in-between broadcasting matches, featuring PS2 game consoles and DVDs as prizes, as well as dinners, lunches and weekend stays at Emirates Palace
Commenting on the hotel’s latest promotion, Noel Massoud, General Manager, said, “The World Cup is indeed the biggest and most exciting competitive sports. The public’s response has been absolutely overwhelming, making this promotion a wonderful success. We’re very happy with the results, and we’re looking forward to even more excitement during the final stages of the tournament.”
