World Cup Fever Brings Big Crowds to Palm Springs Surf Club

The World Cup is driving big business worldwide, and here in the Coachella Valley local businesses are getting a piece of the action.

At Palm Springs Surf Club, fans are gathering to watch matches on two giant screens overlooking the wave pool, creating a viewing experience unlike anything else in the desert.

Restaurant manager Stephanie says the venue wanted to take advantage of its unique setting and offer soccer fans a place where they can enjoy the sunshine while catching every minute of the action.

Guests can watch matches poolside while surfers ride waves just feet away, blending World Cup excitement with the Coachella Valley lifestyle.

Visitors say the atmosphere has turned the surf club into one of the area's premier World Cup watch parties.

From surfing to soccer, the Palm Springs Surf Club is giving fans a one-of-a-kind way to experience the world's biggest sporting event.

As one fan put it, it's not just watching a game — it feels like one giant watch party in the middle of the desert.
