Football fever is back at KAUST!  

Following the success of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Fan Zone, the FIFA World Cup 2026 Fan Zone is returning to campus. 

From June 11 to July 19, 2026, Discovery Square will transform into a vibrant hub of football, entertainment, and community spirit.  

More than just match screenings, the Fan Zone will bring the KAUST community together through interactive experiences, prediction challenges, exciting activations, and shared moments that make every game unforgettable. 

Save the dates and get ready to watch, play, cheer, and celebrate together. 

More details, schedules, and activity announcements will be shared soon.
