The wait is over, and finally the World Cup again catches the passion of football fans and the imagination of sporty youth once again!

Lucky for us, there is no need to travel, and watching the tournament matches at Lo+Cale’s superb outdoor terrace is magical.

In fact, the Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina has pushed itself at the forefront of the many venues eager to celebrate football culture in UAE, going “Beyond the Game”!

The venue is spectacular, both in its elegance…

… and in the five-star special menu developed especially for the World Cup!

It makes a big difference to the enjoyment of an evening meal during the game, when there is the whole Crowne Plaza F&B in support!

But the best part were the passion and vibes that created the atmosphere – imagine, our waitress, the lovely Ms Martina, comes from Argentina!

And not only she wears her country’s football flag proudly, but the South American Fútbol culture runs deep in her veins – certainly no need to explain to her what off-side was when the first goal was annulled!

And so the scene was set for a wonderful and engaging kick-off, carressed by the fresh air, and surrounded by the high-rises of Dubai Marina – in total comfort, and even with views that spectators in Doha could not enjoy.

Lo+Cale’s Foodball Menu was just as spectacular as the location!

Delicious pot of mussells steamed in white wine sauce… top grade!

A delightful cheese and ham platter…

What a difference top quality ingredients make!

And more – something for everyone, from exciting kale, quinoa, avocado and tomato salads…

to heavy-duty Boerwors!

And lobster roll…

Or forego the dinner (don’t – it was exceptional!) and simply view the game with your favorite coffee or cocktail.

For the opening game of World Cup Qatar 2022, we couldn’t have chosen a better venue – and now we know where to watch the remaining games!

Overall, with Dubai sports bars outdoing themselves to catch a piece of the FIFA action, the fabulous terrace and passionate team at Lo+Cale, Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina, will be hard to beat this World Cup in Dubai!
