"The Emirate of Ajman has become a leading touristic destination due to its advanced infrastructure and the quality of entertainment and cultural events it hosts.

This, in turn, will promote sports tourism and is in line with the vision of H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, and the directives of Sheikh Ammar, as the emirate of Ajman intends always to be a part of this worldwide event."

The Ajman Fan Zone - the World Cup 2022 Experience will be sponsored by the Saudi German Hospital as the Gold Sponsor, Gulfa Water as the hydration sponsor, Al Raya Advertising Agency as the media sponsor, with the support of the Ajman Civil Defence, the Ajman Police, the Ajman Municipality and Planning Department, and Infinity Gym.
