We interviewed fans; most of the them would watch the match of France and Croatia at home, with family or friends. To a question “why”, they asked the counter-question: “Well, where else?”
As we found out, there are many places where you can watch the championship final in Ashgabat. Maya, fan of the Croatian team, told:
“I have not decided yet, but there is a wide choice of places. Among them, there are several cafes in the “Berkarar” Shopping Center, “Yildiz” and “Sport” hotels and others. The main thing is to reserve a seat in advance”.
In addition, cafe “Rakhat”, “MB”, “Altyn Ada” and others were noted. In these places, fans like a cozy atmosphere where you can share the joy of watching football with other fans of this sport.
Some football fans noted that the game of millions is better to be watched on the big screen. Fan of France Didar believes that as large the screen as great the impression:
“My friends and I prefer to watch football on the big screen, it’s much more interesting. Therefore, we plan to watch the FIFA Final at the “Vatan” cinema. We have been there several times already and watched previous matches.”
Among the respondents, there were also those who, due to some circumstances, will be on-the-way, and will not be able to watch the match in any particular place. Maksat said that in the evening, he will be on train to Avaza, but he will not miss the chance to watch this year’s main football event:
“During the match I will be on the train, but, perhaps, I will use the service of the mobile operator “Altyn Asyr”, which allows watching TV channels on the smartphone via the Internet.
Let us remind that the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final between the teams of France and Croatia will start at 20:00 on Sunday.
