Municipal squares, parks, and public frontages prepared by Amanahs and their affiliated municipalities across the Kingdom witnessed strong public turnout following the launch of the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing’s “Our Cities Cheer Our Team” initiative. The initiative enabled the public to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup match between the Saudi national team and Uruguay at fully equipped public viewing venues.
The viewing venues welcomed families, young people, children, and visitors who gathered to support the Green Falcons and share moments of excitement and encouragement in a vibrant national atmosphere. The enthusiastic turnout reflected the strong public support for the Saudi national team and the spirit of pride and belonging shared by citizens and residents across the Kingdom.
The initiative forms part of the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing’s efforts to activate municipal squares, parks, and public frontages as vibrant community destinations by establishing and equipping public viewing venues across the Kingdom’s regions, cities, and governorates. This enables residents to watch the national team’s matches close to their homes while enjoying the tournament in safe and welcoming environments.
Public viewing venues designated by Amanahs and municipalities across the Kingdom will continue operating throughout the Saudi national team’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, enabling fans to follow the Saudi team matches in a distinctive national atmosphere that reflects the spirit of enthusiasm and support while bringing communities together in a shared experience of cheering on the national team.
The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing stated that the “Our Cities Cheer Our Team” initiative aims to encourage community participation in supporting the Saudi team by activating municipal squares, parks, and public frontages as community destinations that host national events. The initiative also helps enhance the experience of residents and visitors while promoting greater use of public facilities across the Kingdom’s cities and governorates.
Amanahs and municipalities continue to implement their operational and service plans at public viewing venues to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for visitors while reinforcing the role of public spaces as community gathering places that bring residents together and keep pace with national events and occasions.
The “Our Cities Cheer Our Team” initiative reflects the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing’s ongoing commitment to enhancing quality of life by activating public destinations and municipal squares as centers for community engagement. It further strengthens their role as attractive community destinations that host national events and shared public experiences while keeping pace with major occasions that bring communities together.
