For the very first time, Manchester United will be bringing its hugely popular fan event #ILOVEUNITED to Dubai on Sunday April 28.
Linking up passionate fans around the globe, supporters will be able to come together and support their team in one of the season’s most highly anticipated games, as United take on Chelsea at Old Trafford.
The event, hosted at Soho Beach DXB, Al Meydan Road, promises the same thrill and excitement of previous #ILOVEUNITED events held around the world. However, this time it is on a much bigger scale, as the event will also be connected digitally with fan viewing parties around the world, hosted by the club’s official supporters clubs and commercial partners, allowing some of the club’s 659 million followers to share their passion for the club with one another.
From United’s famous 1999 treble-winning team, club ambassadors Denis Irwin, Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke will be in Dubai meeting fans, sampling local culture and providing pre-match views and post-match analysis of the game.
Fans will also be able to enjoy live entertainment, giveaways and competitions, courtesy of the club’s commercial partners.
The #ILOVEUNITED event is free to attend and fans can apply online for tickets by visiting www.manutd.com/iloveunited no later than Wednesday, April 17.
Applications will then be entered into a ballot, with tickets issued at random. Successful applicants will be notified by email no later than Monday, April 22.
United’s group managing director, Richard Arnold, said: “Our international events have been a hugely successful over the past seven years, with thousands of fans attending each event. We expect the Dubai #ILOVEUNITED to be just as popular and look forward to bringing some of the excitement and buzz of Old Trafford to Dubai and to our supporters around the world.”
