Five hospitality villages


The Group's teams installed five hospitality villages in four different stadiums for MATCH Hospitality, the exclusive distributor of the event's Hospitality Packages.


The villages were made up of high-quality temporary structures equipped with power, lighting, air conditioning, sound-proof partitions and terraces.
These high-end facilities enabled companies and their guests to enjoy a unique experience at this great sports event. The event provided the host companies with an ideal opportunity to raise their brand image and develop their business relationships.


GL events also installed all the facilities for HBS, the host broadcaster for the event, in the TV production areas at each stadium, including temporary structures, air conditioning, lighting, office furniture, office modules, and more.

In addition, Profil's hospitality teams were exclusively in charge of the reception services for VIP guests at eleven stadiums, representing a total of 64 matches. Between one hundred and four hundred stewards and hostesses were mobilised for each match: reception, access control, giving directions, taking guests to their seats and managing the cloakroom services, etc.
