Virtual football action draws gamers to the UAE pitch

Football in Dubai is being brought virtually to home turf for the global gaming audience in the EA Sports FIFA21.

The emirate has been included as one of the locations in the tournament launched on PlayStation,  Xbox One, and PC via Origin™ and Steam.

Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism) has partnered with Electronic Arts bringing players onto the Dubai pitch - featuring iconic backdrops like the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab.

Organisers say the matches will reach out to the large community of gamers in the UAE and across the globe during this challenging period - and promote Dubai as a must-visit destination.
