For the first time ever, Wetherspoons will show football games for the Qatar World Cup.
The pub chain announced that most of its 850 pubs across the country will screen the tournament which kicked off this afternoon as Ecuador beat Qatar 2-0. However, the matches will be shown with subtitles rather than sound at the pubs, which are known for being sound free.
Wetherspoons boozers which don't have TV screens will not be screening games for that obvious reason. The move follows on from the existing set up where news is normally played quietly in the background outside of the World Cup season.
