Since it is happening in your own backyard, here are 9 reasons why you cannot miss out on the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2019 brought to you by VoucherCodesUAE.
It’s the only competitive Global Club Tournament
Although there are other continental club competitions around the world such as the UEFA Champions League in Europe and the AFC Champions League in Asia, FIFA Club World Cup is the only tournament that remains to be truly “global.”
The champions of Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Oceana and the champions of the host nations will go head-to-head to be the final one standing. If you’ve been waiting to watch all these famous clubs try to dominate the field with their exceptional skills, technique, and style, then here’s your chance.
Affordable ticket prices
The tickets prices of the match start from as little as 25 AED making it affordable for all football fans to have a live matchday experience. You may think that you could probably watch the games on TV comfortably in your living room. But trust me, nothing beats the experience of watching a football game live, creating and joining in to the amazing atmosphere in the stadium. If you want a luxurious matchday experience you could opt for the Category 1 tickets which start from AED 100. However, it is to be noted that the price of tickets will go up during the final stages of the competition.
