Well, the wave of enthusiasm over the 2022 FIFA World Cup has only just begun to simmer down across the Middle East region, but fans of the beautiful game will be acutely aware that, in the footsteps of this super event, comes UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany—not forgetting the Olympics in Paris—ensuring an action-packed sporting summer ahead for the world this year.
It may not be competing as the UAE has had, but when it comes to big international sporting events, you can count on Dubai to party in style!
Fresh from Real Madrid's thrilling end of the Champions League season, here are all the top venues in Dubai to get your Euro 2024 fix from 14 June to 14 July 2024.
There are enough bars and pubs in Dubai that tourists can pop into at any time to enjoy the sporting action, but here are some of the very best sports bars in Dubai that we know have specific screenings and special indoor venues or special Fanzone tents. ('Coz we're rolling into the peak of summer in Dubai, it's going to be HOT! Even before you're sweating on your team's outcome, pick any outdoor wisely!!)
The Irish pub McGettigans returns with its popular FanZone, which it launched for the first time at the Media City Amphitheatre for the World Cup. This time, the action shifts indoors into The Agenda in Dubai Media City.
This will be an airconditioned, indoor venue with standing, premium seating and VIP zones, all offering pre-match concerts to keep the crowd entertained. You can watch a match for AED 55 or have the meal and concert combo along with a drink for AED 195.
This is a slick British dining venue where you can find an Amstel beer special: Buy 3 get 1 Free, A bucket of 5 Bira Moretti for AEAD 150, or enjoy a mouth-watering Burger & Pint combo for AED 99.
JA's Downtown Fanzone is proudly set to step into this electrifying month of Euro Cup action with live streaming on giant screens that shall ensure each game comes alive with all the thrills and spills. There's bound to be something here for the entire family to enjoy, including activities and competitions coming with exclusive grand prizes.
Enjoy live music and performances in an air-conditioned tent for a cool and comfortable viewing experience throughout the summer. For a touch of luxury, look into their exclusive VIP lounge options.
It's a pretty safe bet—likely, with food and drinks flowing, they'll also be serving you with some Euro action this June/ July. Undoubtedly, this will be followed up by Olympics action, too, so have these bars and venues on your radar for somewhere different to indulge your thirst for sport this summer:
