It is the largest sporting tournament the UAE has ever hosted and took place over eight football stadiums across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Al Ain, and Sharjah.

 
Over 5,000 volunteers were on hand to ensure the event ran smooth, taking on various roles from operations and logistics to media management and hospitality. Creative Technology (CT) was honoured to have been a part of this fantastic event. Supplying perimeter LED for five of the eight stadiums that were dotted around the UAE on behalf of their client, Sports Logistics. Each stadium had 252m of S10 perimeter LED around the ground which was used to display advertising and sponsorship content throughout the games. 

CT’s Project Manager, Darko Rosenberg explains “The team has been traveling up and down the country monitoring the LED perimeter across all sites to ensure a smooth delivery for every game. The crew have been brilliant and delivered fantastic results as always.”
