As the UAE national football team prepares for crucial matches in the 2026 World Cup Asian qualifiers, telecommunications giant e& has announced a special initiative to support fans traveling to Qatar. The company is offering 2GB of free roaming data to Emirati supporters heading to Doha for the matches against Oman on October 11 and Qatar on October 14. This move aims to enhance the fan experience and bolster morale for the ‘Whites,’ who are on the brink of securing a historic World Cup qualification. The UAE last appeared in the World Cup in 1990, and after a 35-year hiatus, the team is now just two victories away from making it to the global tournament in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Football fever has swept the nation, with billboards proclaiming ‘the dream of a nation’ as fans rally behind their team. In addition to the free data, various entities have stepped up to support the cause. Earlier this month, the UAE Football Association (UAEFA) announced the provision of five private planes to transport fans to Doha, while Ajman’s Sheikh Rashid bin Hamid Al Nuaimi secured a private plane for the same purpose. Fans can register for these flights through UAEFA’s official platforms, provided they meet specific terms and conditions, including presenting their Emirates ID. This collective effort underscores the nation’s unwavering support for its football team as they chase a historic milestone.
