NALU MATCH DAYS BRINGS SUMMER FOOTBALL ENERGY TO HUDAYRIYAT ISLAND

This summer, Nalu is set to bring a new kind of match-day energy to Hudayriyat Island with the launch of Nalu Match Days, its first dedicated football screening experience in partnership with Heineken.

Running from 11 June to 19 July 2026, the activation will transform Nalu into a lively indoor destination for FIFA World Cup 2026, creating a social setting to come together over live screenings, sharing-style food and a buzzing tournament atmosphere.

Designed as a summer gathering space for Abu Dhabi’s football community, fans, friends, groups, and sports enthusiasts, Nalu Match Days combine live sport with the venue’s relaxed dining style. Guests can settle in for afternoon fixtures, evening games, and late-night screenings, with the restaurant open daily from 12:00pm to 3:00am throughout the tournament.

The venue will feature two distinct settings: a social, and energetic  ground-floor dining space for fiends, couples, families, and medium-sized groups, and an elevated lounge offering a more intimate VIP experience with larger screens and a more immersive viewing atmosphere, creating a destination for both dedicated football followers and those drawn to the electric atmosphere.

Complementing the experience, the Nalu FIFA Sharing Platter brings together a selection of match-day favourites, including two tacos with a choice of barbacoa or pastor, classic fries, guacamole dip, six chicken wings, and olives, priced at AED 169.

The Heineken partnership will bring a distinct football-night atmosphere to Nalu Match Days, enhancing the overall experience with curated touches across the venue. Guests can also enjoy beverage packages including 8 litters Heineken tower AED 400, Heineken or Corona bucket of eight bottles for AED 200, a shots selection at AED 240 for six shots, and exclusive pricing with pints at AED 30, half pints at AED 18, and bottles at AED 28.

With live match screenings, sharing plates, drinks packages and a lively indoor atmosphere, Nalu Match Days is set to become one of Hudayriyat Island’s go-to social destinations for FIFA World Cup 2026. Nalu Match Days will run from 11 June to 19 July 2026, Monday to Sunday, from 12:00pm to 3:00am at Nalu Restaurant, Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi.
