Ignite designed and produced the Opening, Closing and Awards Ceremonies for the FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2009 in Abu Dhabi.

 

Each ceremony combined local culture and tradition with a diverse global mix in spectacular style. All ceremonies were designed to be unique and memorable experiences for a worldwide broadcast audience, embracing and enforcing FIFA’s global presence.

 

The ceremonies featured 440 performers including 250 local volunteers, traditional drummers and dancers, 7 life-size dhow sailing boats, tailor made costumes, banners and silks, a giant 3D football and a 15m mobile stage.
