Located on Prince Sultan Street, the exciting new retail destination will undertake a soft opening on 15th December and will be celebrating with 2 months of exciting events and celebrations ahead of a grand opening in Q1 2024.

From soft opening day to December 22, U Walk Jeddah will host its hotly-anticipated Adidas FIFA Fan Zone by Cenomi – a Football Festival to coincide with the FIFA Club World Cup tournament taking place in Jeddah. Visitors can expect live broadcasts of all tournament matches, generating an electrifying atmosphere for football fans and families.

The Adidas FIFA Fan Zone by Cenomi will also feature various football-themed challenges and activities, where visitors of all ages will be able to participate in interactive installations to test their skills, including passing and shooting games and head-to-head skills competitions. Prizes will be awarded to the top competitors in each challenge. Ittihad Club, the only Saudi Club participating in the Club World Cup this season, is a proud sponsor of the Adidas FIFA Fan Zone by Cenomi and will be hosting a fan zone dedicated for Ittihad Club supporters, where guests will be in with the chance to win Ittihad branded t-shirts, mugs and more.

The Football Festival will be followed by the Cenomi Urban Festival, which will bring childhood nostalgia to life in the center with captivating, Instagram-worthy neon-lit installations, and a variety of immersive games and activities, transforming U-Walk Jeddah into a leading destination for family fun. The Urban Festival runs until the end of February 2024.

In addition to the celebrations, guests can explore a selection of handpicked F&B and lifestyle brands on the U Walk Jeddah promenade, providing a glimpse of what is to come at the grand opening in Q1 2024.
