Washington, D.C., likely will be extra lively when the 2023 women’s World Cup begins in July.
Kenyan McDuffie, a councilmember in the nation’s capital, initiated a bill on June 5 to permit bars and restaurants to remain open 24 hours when the World Cup begins on July 20 and until the tournament concludes on Aug. 20. Businesses in the city will be allowed to sell alcohol around the clock except from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. each day of the quadrennial event.
The move was proposed because the World Cup is being contested in Australia and New Zealand, which will feature overnight games in U.S. time zones.
