Timings, Kickoff Hours, and Match Day Preparation
When planning matchday schedules, you should take into consideration the difference in time zones between Western Europe and Gulf Standard Time. Most games with European national teams are played in the evening in the local European land. These scheduled kick-off times mean late nights viewing in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Standard European evening games are usually streamed live from a half after 8pm, to a quarter past 12 at night (Gulf Standard Time). The late-night kickoff times can often mean that some of the most important games are scheduled to end near midnight, which can make planning work nights difficult.
When matchday arrives, you don’t want to be prepared with the right viewing equipment and to be stressed out. Always verify digital subscription active status, check high-speed home internet connection speeds and update streaming applications on smart TV’s or mobile devices well before the referee blows the opening whistle. The home atmosphere and the gatherings of like-minded supporters at popular sports lounges throughout Dubai and Abu Dhabi can offer up a rich atmosphere that is akin to the atmosphere found in international stadiums.
