QNB Group in partnership with Visa held a football-themed event to celebrate the winners of the QNB Visa Credit Cards campaign on Sunday.
Held in a festive and joyous atmosphere, the football-themed event was complete with stage shows, musicians, and performers bringing together a large audience, media celebrities, and social media influencers who thoroughly enjoyed themselves taking part in various fun-filled activities.
The event also saw ‘The Best of Football Moments’, an immersive experience journey that takes visitors through a tunnel that displays the key highlights of the FIFA World Cup from its inception in 1930 to the present day. The outdoor event, which had Stadium 974 in its background allowed guests to have perfect moments in addition to a memorable networking session.
Named ‘QNB Football Gala Dinner’, the event saw a number of senior executives from QNB Group and Visa attend the event and had the opportunity to meet with guests including business partners and customers.
QNB Visa Credit Cards campaign, which was launched in May and concluded a few weeks back, gave QNB Visa credit cardholders an exceptional chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime experience to enjoy the game live in Qatar. As many as 50 lucky winners were selected to win a hospitality package for two, which included the opening, group stages round of 16, quarter-finals, semifinals, and final.
Speaking on the occasion, QNB Group General Manager Retail Adel Ali Al Malki said, “We congratulate the winners of our FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign, in collaboration with Visa. We are extremely delighted and proud to be able to bring such a rewarding campaign to our cardholders. I was able to meet many of the winners during the event and they were clearly excited to have this opportunity to experience the FIFA World Cup excitement. I take this opportunity to thank our customers and partners who have supported us.”
“The country has worked very hard over a number of years preparing for the greatest football event in the world and we are confident that the FIFA World Cup 2022 will be etched in history as the best tournament ever,’’ he said.
Visa Senior Vice President and Group Country Manager for GCC Dr Saeeda Jaafar said, “We are delighted that more Visa cardholders will soon enjoy exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experiences at FIFA World Cup 2022, which kicks off in less than a month. Visa is also proud to run this promotion with QNB. Promotions like this are a great way to not only reward consumers when they use their Visa cards but also to support the local government’s cashless ambitions and extend the benefits of digital commerce to more businesses in Qatar. Congratulations to all the winners.”
