Another FIFA World Cup means another tough decision for Australian fans wondering where to watch the action unfold.
The 2022 tournament in Qatar offers up some unique kick-off times for viewers in Perth, so much so that the State Government has introduced a new one-off liquor policy for the duration of the tournament.
Under the new extended trading hours policy, select establishments will be allowed to open in the early hours of the morning to allow people to soak up all the action between November 20th and December 18th.
Australia is in Group D and will play their first game against France at 3 a.m. WST on November 23. Then on November 26, they will meet Tunisia at 6 p.m. before their final group match against Denmark starts at 11 p.m. on November 30.
