The Lebanese, like all the peoples of the world, are waiting for the football event, preparing to keep up with their favorite teams, holding celebrations sometimes, driving marches, raising flags as well as giant screens to watch the matches.
This is the atmosphere that precedes the opening whistle for the 2022 World Cup, this global sporting event that adults and children await with passion and enthusiasm, and all eyes turn to it.
What about the restaurant equipment to receive football fans, and will the negotiations to transfer the World Cup for free succeed?
Vice President of the Syndicate of Owners of Restaurants, Cafés and Patisseries in Lebanon, Khaled Nazha, referred to “the great efforts made by the Lebanese Minister of Information, Ziad Al-Makari, to broadcast the World Cup matches and enable the Lebanese to follow them in their homes without charge, but the communications are still ongoing and nothing is confirmed until now.” I hope that it will succeed,” stressing that “people cannot bear more burdens, especially since the situation is still bad after the financial and economic collapses that Lebanon faced recently.”
Nazha reminded of the large sums that are also owed by restaurants, as “the cost of subscriptions to transfer matches in cafes ranges between 3 thousand to 15 thousand US dollars, depending on the capacity of the cafe, and that a cafe that can accommodate 50 seats, for example, will pay an amount starting from 3 thousand dollars instead of allowing direct transmission.” at least”.
Nazha announced that restaurants are fully prepared to receive fans and keep pace with this international sporting event, expecting cafes to be crowded with visitors, pointing out that cafes and restaurant owners are waiting for this season, as it is connected to the festive season and helps move the economic wheel.
In conclusion, Nazha preached that the atmosphere of the World Cup will be special and exciting in restaurants, with the presence of giant screens. As for prices, they are studied and the pricing mechanism is no different from normal days.
Unfortunately, this exceptional event, which millions around the world await and is followed by most people, coincides with a group of accumulated and worsening crises in Lebanon. However, nothing will prevent the Lebanese youth from interacting with it, especially as it controls the rhythm of events and all situations.
