It’s the world’s highest football scoreboard!

The Burj Khalifa has been used as a canvas for a lot of special events in its time – featuring national flags, dazzling light shows, and even movie release countdowns. And now, it’s just added scorekeeper to its CV.

The world’s tallest building will transform into a live LED scoreboard for the duration of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which is currently taking place in Russia.

During each match, the Burj will provide a live steam of updates for football fans, and light up with the flag of the winning nation.
