Qatar Foundation’s Ladies Night is set to return this week for another special edition at the Education City Stadium, where women and girls from across the country can come together for an evening of fun, fitness and community.
The air-conditioned ladies-only space, which was one of the venues for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, will feature a range of activities, from Pilates to functional fitness, and as well as organised runs that stretch across a variety of distances, such as 3km and 5km. The upcoming Ladies Night will be held from 6pm to 10pm on Wednesday, 19 July 19.
"We really enjoyed the Pilates session with Evo Active, alongside the other activities that were on offer,” said Yasmine Dehbi, captain of the women’s national rugby team, who attended the Ladies Night at the stadium in June.
"As the rugby national team, it’s great for us to be active in different ways, and this event allows us to try new things. Qatar Foundation is changing the game for women in Qatar by making this fantastic space – a World Cup venue – available for us to keep fit, be active and play sport together.”
At the Ladies Night, there will also be a range of offerings for children, such as football games, puzzles and a clay modelling competition, as well as food and drink vendors including Pinkberry. Visitors can also browse the Education City Gift Shop. The event is open to all women and girls, as well as boys aged nine years and under.
Entry to the stadium is free, with the main entrance point being Gate 35, close to Education City’s West Car Park – the location can be found at maps.app.goo.gl/UiyoN8QGCTwSoAPt7?g_st=ic – and Education City Tram services.
