With a little more than a month to go before the World Cup 2022 gets underway, football fans across Glasgow are probably wondering where to catch the games on the big screen. Although Scotland did not qualify for the world’s largest football tournament, that does not mean you cannot support other countries or even your favourite players.
And with the excitement mounting, some Glasgow pubs and bars have now begun a booking system to ensure football supporters have a guaranteed space inside. Since this year’s World Cup is being played in the winter instead of the summer when beer gardens were common, you may want to find an indoor area to watch the games.
