If you didn’t manage to get tickets for the India vs New Zealand ICC Champions Final at Dubai International Cricket Stadium this Sunday – do not fret. A handful of sports bars are broadcasting the game which will start from 1pm on the 9th of March 2025. There are a lot of bars that are showing it here in Dubai but you must be wondering – are there any that would allow kids? Or more importantly – would it be a comfortable spot for you to bring your kids along?
We’ve got you sorted. Here’s a handful of family-friendly sports bars that are showing the ICC Champions Final in Dubai.
Spike Bar Emirates Golf Club
