Not travelling to North America this summer? You don’t need to.

Wyndham Garden Manama is bringing the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to Bahrain, transforming its Players Lounge into a dedicated fan destination for the full run of the tournament.

Under the campaign theme “One Game. One Crowd. One Lounge.”, the space has been designed for fans who want more than a screen in the corner – think stadium atmosphere, match-day food, and the kind of energy that only a live match brings.

Players Lounge will screen all major matches live on multiple big screens, with immersive sound and lighting that puts you closer to the action than your sofa ever could. Alongside the football, there’s a full programme of activations to keep things interesting between kick-off and the final whistle:

  • Half-Time Spin & Win, with prizes including food, drinks and vouchers
  • Match Prediction Challenges, with rewards for calling the right scores and scorers
  • World Cup Trivia to test your football knowledge
  • Fan of the Match and Jersey Nights, celebrating the fans who show up
  • A Selfie Wall and social activations to capture the moments worth sharing

On the food and drinks side, the match-day menu has been built for the occasion: Goal Line Nachos, Golden Boot Buffalo Wings, Kick-Off Quesadillas, Triple Striker Sliders, Dynamite Goal Shrimp and Referee’s Calamari Rings. Guests can pair the action with a selection of ice-cold beverages, signature drinks and refreshing mocktails throughout the tournament.

More than one way to watch

Not every fan wants the same atmosphere, and the hotel caters for that. Matches will also screen at Terrace@28, the rooftop lounge, for those who prefer watching the game under open skies, and at Via Brasil Shisha Lounge, for a more relaxed, shisha-and-football kind of evening.

Group packages and private viewing experiences are available across all three venues for anyone organising something bigger – whether that’s a corporate watch party, a friends’ night out, or a family gathering around a big game.

Game On

Now live, the FIFA World Cup 2026™ campaign is officially underway at Wyndham Garden Manama, with fans already gathering to enjoy live screenings, interactive activations and exclusive match-day experiences throughout the tournament. A replica FIFA World Cup Trophy is also on display at the property, giving guests the opportunity to capture memorable moments and get even closer to the excitement of the world’s biggest football event.
