The President Cup is a national football tournament of the UAE that takes place between the various football leagues of the country. The final match of the tournament was set to take place at the Hazza
bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, with 2 of the most anticipated teams clashing for the finals, making it one of the most awaited matches of the year.

With thousands attending the final match as well as being broadcasted live on TV – it had to be perfect with no room for error.

Providing power for any stadium is challenging with the need for extensive cabling and distribution. Sometimes cables need to be installed up to 3 or 4 levels above, from power connections taken from the source in the ground level.

Add to that, the stadium’s façade would pose an even bigger challenge in getting the generators installed as close as possible. Equipment transportation inside the stadium would require meticulous planning to make sure the stadium’s façade was not damaged in the process.

Initially scheduled for May 2022, the final match of the tournament was postponed, as the country observed a period of mourning after the passing of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.

With the match being rescheduled a few times and with no clear timeline to work towards, the equipment for the event could not be reserved ahead of time.

With a stadium and show this big, a lot of power was required and a reliable supplier to who provide this within a short span of time.

Having worked with us on several events previously, the client knew that Aggreko was the perfect choice for the project.
