As Argentina’s forward #10 Lionel Messi scored the first goal at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 final, jubilant fans jumped with joy at the live broadcasting party hosted by Sime Darby Property (SDP) for the community of Putra Heights in Selangor on Sunday night.
Passionate fans, their family members and friends turned up in droves to support their favourite teams during the experential live viewing party held to celebrate the World Cup fever.
Besides the final game between Argentina and France played at the Lusail Stadium, the event at The Glades Plaza also featured a string of family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy that night.
It has been a month of triumphs and defeats, as some of the best teams were ousted one by one – Germany, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, South Korea and England.
Football finals have traditionally been something Malaysians watch and enjoy together from way back in the 1970s, when families, neighbours and friends would all huddle together in front of a black-and-white TV and support their favourite teams.
Remember Italy vs West Germany at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid in 1982?
Paolo Rossi taking the Golden Boot that year with six goals?
More recently, who can forget the Germany’s unforgettable 7-1 win over Brazil in the 2014 FIFA World Cup semi-finals at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte?
You may not remember every detail of the game, but you probably can recall who you watched it with and where.
Recognising this, SDP is committed when it comes to delivering experiential moments for the communities living at each of its townships.
Early birds at the viewing party were gifted with goodie bags upon registration from participating partners such as Coca Cola, Decathlon, Celcom, Farm Fresh and many more.
To add in some fun for the guests to enjoy the evening, a limited stamp-card was given to visitors to collect points from each activity booth to redeem one free meal.
There were also food trucks so everyone could get their fill of yummy snacks before the game – free flow of popcorn and ice cream, exciting games and cool merchandise up for grabs.
Indeed, the night was a perfect mix of adrenaline rush and fun.
SDP also gave a sneak preview of Putra Heights’ latest launches, The Serenade at The Glades and Serasi Residences at Putra Heights Sentral.
As part of its ongoing efforts to multiply the value of residing in the Putra Heights township, SDP continues to create a different lifestyle living experience and memorable moments for the community, such as this viewing party for people to enjoy pivotal moments together.
And you can look out for more fun community events to be held within SDP townships for residents to enjoy in the future.
