With 10 match zone venues planned, Radisson Hotels will be welcoming local residents, tourists and guests planning onward travel to Qatar to enjoy entertainment, drinks deals, and more at their dedicated venues. Competitions, loyalty prizes, and unique special offers will also be available on the Taste my UAE app across all participating venues.
