The biggest tournament in sport is back next week, with Russia hosting the 21st FIFA World Cup. Football fans will be making the 3,400-mile journey from the UAE to Russia but don’t worry if you haven’t bagged tickets, as World Cup mania takes over Dubai.
With loads of venues competing for business, there are some cracking deals on offer for fans. The eight screens and a giant projector ensure you won’t miss a kick in the Crowne Plaza. Harvesters bar are running daily World Cup food and beverage promotions throughout the tournament, which are ideal for those making a day of it. The offers run from 12pm – 2am and include Match Day Buckets for AED110 and a Dress for Discount offer, which gets you 20% off your bill if you’re wearing a football shirt. What’s more, if you fancy yourself as a World Cup pundit, correctly predict scores before the game and you’ll be rewarded with some prizes for those you get right.
Memories to be made: FIFA World Cup
The venue itself is a popular English-style pub, a favourite hangout for football fans, thanks to its traditional hearty British food. The place has picked up a reputation for its generous portions too. For those not so keen on British pub grub the menu also has popular dishes from all around the world as well. If you’re asking us, we recommend the bangers and mash or fish and chips, which make the perfect pre-match meal.
The Crowne Plaza hotel, located on Sheikh Zayed Road, opposite the Dubai World Trade Center has 568 rooms for guests and state-of-the-art facilities including an outdoor pool and spa, ideal for those looking to relax after the World Cup hype. Offers begin in time for when hosts Russia take on Saudi Arabia in the tournament curtain raiser on June 14th.
