A total of 12 activities are available on Education City’s website.
Qatar Foundation is set to host its first Ladies Night at the Education City Stadium on Wednesday, providing free access to various fitness activities to female members of the community.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup venue is geared up to host around 1,000 people during the event, scheduled to take place between 6-10 pm local time. Pre-registration online is required for some of the classes, some of which require a fee.
During a tour hours ahead of the event, Doha News joined a media tour for a glimpse of some of the preparations for activities expected to be on offer, including pilates, running, and strength training.
Children will also have the opportunity to enjoy activities at the “Kids Corner” as well as film screenings.
Speaking to Doha News at the stadium, Bouthaina Al-Khater, engagement and activation specialist at Qatar Foundation, said the idea for the event was inspired by the success of the previous ladies night at Oxygen Park.
“This shows how much Qatar Foundation cares about women and ladies and about their health and sports. So I think this is amazing,” Al-Khater said.
The event is taking place with a large participation of gyms and wellness entities across Qatar, including Adidas Runners, Qatar Run Ladies, WarriorFit, and UN1T among many others.
“It’s a privilege to be asked to be involved in the first ever Ladies Night here at the stadium. Hopefully, it’s going to be a good turnout, the ladies are going to enjoy it, it’s a brilliant chance for everybody to showcase women’s sports, women’s fitness,” Emma Crick, UN1T’s General Manager, told Doha News.
With the World Cup now in the rearview, the stadium is now set to transform into a hub for girls and women to enjoy sports as part of the tournament’s legacy.
