One of the largest shopping destinations in South Africa, Cresta Shopping Centre, in partnership with sponsors, Huawei, Gilbert and African Bank has opened its first smart Rugby Fan Zone on 21 September in the centre’s food and entertainment court for shoppers who want to enjoy the Rugby World Cup games on the big screen.
The iconic centre has been around for decades, the heart and soul of the Cresta community and wanted to share the festivities and excitement of the Rugby World Cup with its shoppers. The Fan Park has planned live screenings of key games on the big screen, as well as smart interactive activities, innovative competitions, live performances and guest appearances as well as promised a unique, joyful experience for shoppers to enjoy with their friends and families.
“Large tournaments such as the Rugby World Cup serve as an opportunity for us as South Africans to connect and share in a common experience as a nation and as a Centre, we want to offer our community a way to enjoy the games and support our boys in green together while creating fun for all ages. The Fan Zone provides convenient and innovative entertainment including great prizes and surprises,” said Virginia Bester, general manager of Cresta Shopping Centre. “This year, the 9th Rugby World Cup promises to be one of the most intense competitive tournaments we have seen on the 2019 sporting calendar and for this reason, we would like to encourage shoppers in our community to come and experience the excitement of the games at our Fan Zone in our food and entertainment court.”
Entrance to the World of Rugby Cup Fan Zone is free for all and shoppers can expect great deals from the multiple restaurants in the centre as well as rugby themed activities, pre and post-game entertainment and on-the-spot competitions throughout the tournament. While the international teams celebrate in Japan, visitors can also win fantastic, instant prizes such as digital devices, rugby gear and so much more from sponsors Huawei, African Bank and Gilbert. Families have been promised that the kids will be entertained by the games, competitions, activities and surprise visits from the CrestAquarium ‘voice of the ocean’, Crestal.
