FIFA World Cup Matches at Belgian Beer Café Where ‘They Score, You Score!’


This summer, Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City will once again live sports, with the advent of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

However the heart of the action will be found in the buzzing Belgian Beer Café, when ‘They Score, You Score’.



Those who can’t make the trip to South Africa will be able to enjoy the action on a big screen from the comfort of the Belgian Beer Café, and during the Last 16 Category matches may also take advantage of the ‘They Score, You Score’ drinks deal.
