With the 2014 World Cup opening in Brazil tomorrow, there are several ways to watch the matches in Qatar. Here’s our guide to enjoying the tournament:

Tune in at home

FIFA is live-streaming the tournament, but that feed is only available in some countries, and doesn’t include Qatar. So those who wish to watch the games at home while here will have to pay for a beIN Sports global subscription, which is available for televisions, home computers and mobile devices.

This can be done by purchasing a beIN Sports set-top box and then buying a World Cup package subscription.

Alternatively, Ooredoo customers with a direct-to-home Mozaic package can purchase a beIN Sports+ global package by pressing the blue button on their remote control.

Go out

Several venues around Qatar have announced plans to screen the matches. The opening game will be played by Brazil and Croatia, and kick off on Thursday, June 12 at 11pm Doha time.

The list of places to watch the matches so far include:

The Gaming Lounge

This 24/7 spot in Al Sadd will screen matches on TV screens up to 60″ large. Cost of attendance is QR15/person, but there is no additional fee to watch the matches if attendees are already playing games. Snacks and beverages are available for purchase. For more information, call 40298521.

Kempinski Residences & Suites, Doha

The Sky Villa on the 61st floor will turn into a “stadium overlooking the city” from June 12 to June 28, with grass on the floor and a large television screen. The entrance fee is QR50/person, but doesn’t cover the cost of drinks or snacks.

Entrance is free starting in Ramadan (which is expected to fall around June 28 this year). Due to limited space, Kempinski is asking people to RSVP by calling 4405-3325 or emailing [email protected].
