MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — From arenas to clubs, businesses across Broward and Miami-Dade counties are finding creative ways to celebrate the world’s biggest sporting event.

For the next month, you won’t need a passport to take a trip around the world — just an appetite.

At the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, the FIFA World Cup is showing up on the menu.

“We have some globally inspired food options here at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, as well as some cocktails that are also globally inspired,” said entertainment expert Paul Zahn.

The hotel’s “Culinary Cup Series” pairs matchups on the field with flavors from around the globe.

From smoky cocktails inspired by Mexico and Germany to dishes celebrating countries like Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and beyond, the idea is simple.

In Coconut Grove, the World Cup is coming with a side of waterfront views.

At Bayshore Club Bar & Grill, fans can watch matches on the big screen while overlooking Biscayne Bay.

Over on South Beach, Queen Miami Beach is leaning into the international spirit of the tournament.

With special watch parties for matchups like Brazil vs. Scotland and Colombia vs. Portugal, along with cocktails designed to celebrate the pursuit of gold, the venue is embracing the excitement of the competition.

And if your ideal match day looks more like a night out, E11EVEN plans to keep the celebration going around the clock, with match viewings, DJs and performances turning every game into an all-day, all-night event.

The World Cup isn’t just taking over hotels and nightlife.

It’s popping up in some pretty unexpected places, too.

On Miami Beach, Reefline’s “Big Goals” installation is using soccer as a way to talk about art, ocean conservation and community engagement.

In Broward County, Amerant Bank Arena is hosting free watch parties throughout the tournament, offering fans a chance to cheer together without heading to Hard Rock Stadium.
