The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) will introduce a Liverpool Football Club Fan Zone as a new experience at this year's Maldives Food Carnival. The Maldives Food Carnival will be held from 25 to 28 this month.
According to MMPRC, this exciting addition stems from MMPRC’s pioneering partnership with Liverpool FC as the club’s Official Tourism Destination Partner, marking a first-of-its-kind collaboration for the Maldives on the global sports stage.
The MMPRC Liverpool FC Fan Zone will be designed to captivate football fans and families alike. As part of MMPRC’s efforts to connect Maldivians and visitors with world-class experiences and global icons, the Fan Zone will serve as an engaging, branded environment where passion for the game meets the joy of celebration.
The Fan Zone will feature a range of exciting activities, including a 3×3 football pitch for live mini-games, a foosball area, penalty shots, 1v1 football matches, and a seated footie challenge, with special giveaways for winners.
Fans can immerse themselves in the LFC spirit through a video booth to send messages to their favourite players, pose for selfies with life-sized cutouts of LFC players, and enjoy exclusive Liverpool FC content broadcast on a large LED screen.
A highlight of the experience will be a special appearance by Liverpool legend Dirk Kuyt, who will visit the Fan Zone on 26 June, giving fans a rare opportunity to meet the celebrated player. In addition, two official Liverpool FC jerseys will be given away during the Carnival, adding even more excitement to the festivities.
Through this collaboration, MMPRC aims for deeper engagement with football-loving communities while highlighting the Maldives as a vibrant and globally connected destination.
The Maldives Food Carnival has quickly grown into a signature celebration of culinary diversity and community spirit. With over 30,000 attendees in 2024 and participation from more than 68 exhibitors, the Carnival is an eagerly awaited fixture on the local events calendar. This year, the event returns with expanded zones, including a Food Arena, Food Expo, Food Street, Arts and Crafts Market, and Activity Zone, offering a dynamic and immersive experience for all.
