Giant screen, live entertainment, and over 20 daily prizes on offer

The Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) announced the launch of an official Fanzone event to mark the FIFA World Cup semi-finals and final, offering football fans across the Kingdom a premium communal viewing experience.

The event will be held on 14, 15, and 19 July 2026 at Terminal 4 of the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre, in partnership with Beon Al Dana Theatre. Matches will be broadcast live on Bahrain's largest screen, creating a stadium-like atmosphere for families, groups, and football enthusiasts alike.

Gates open at 7:00 PM, three hours before kick-off, giving visitors ample time to explore entertainment zones, interactive activities, and food and beverage offerings before live coverage begins at 10:00 PM Bahrain time.

Visitors can win from a pool of more than 20 prizes daily, including two cars, travel tickets, electronics, and hospitality and entertainment packages.

The event forms part of BTEA's broader summer activation strategy, aimed at positioning Bahrain as a leading regional destination for sports and entertainment events — attracting both local residents and international visitors through high-quality, family-friendly experiences.
