After four long years, the World Cup is finally back!

Escape the heat with some cold beers and watch your favorite team battle it out in Russia. On every corner in Tel Aviv you will find the games (every bar has the right to broadcast the games for free), however we’ve done our research and found the very best bars in Tel Aviv to watch the Mundial this year. Also in this post we list where the official fan clubs will be watching the games, and a link to watching at home!
