FIFA World Cup matches
Hammersmith and Fulham's Licensing Sub-Committee approved extended hours for L'Ami Jac to show FIFA World Cup matches in June 2026.
Councils have been considering applications for extended trading hours for venues showing FIFA World Cup matches, an international football tournament held in 2026. The Hammersmith and Fulham Licensing Sub-Committee approved an extended hours licence for L'Ami Jac in June 2026. This allowed the wine bar to sell alcohol and provide late-night refreshments from June 25 to July 1, 2026, with alcohol sales ceasing at 11:30 PM.
The committee's decision considered the promotion of licensing objectives, including the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, and prevention of public nuisance. They determined that the 11:30 PM alcohol sales cut-off was sufficient to uphold these. No further council discussions or decisions regarding FIFA World Cup matches are currently scheduled.
