12 years and countless cases of human rights abuse in the making, the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 starts on Sunday, November 20.
It’s incredible that, in just two days, the world will stop and celebrate (despite the moral quandaries involved), and very little will get done workwise on a global level for one month.
In the United States, however, the time difference with host nation Qatar will mean that at least half of the group stage games will be during the twilight hours and early morning. So if you’re not a morning person, and you love soccer; well, you’re going to suffer a bit during this tournament. Which doesn’t mean Angelenos can’t get in on the party and watch the games in a proper footballing atmosphere.
So, if you can wake up in time or manage to slip away from work, these are the best places in Los Angeles to take in the matches while enjoying the “world’s game.”
