I think that it's unlikely that s/he'll find a bar in downtown Havana showing the match - going to a bar to watch television is not really a Cuban thing - even thought they are sport mad. In central or old Havana the bars that are aimed at tourists assume that they want to drink rum cocktails and listen to live Cuban music not watch sport on TV. So it's more likely that they'll find a bar showing live sport on tV away from the tourist areas but it will be a fairly rough and ready experience and won't be the big screen affair they'll be used to at home. On the whole if there is television on in a bar it will probably be one of the local channels and baseball is the big local sport rather than football.

Their best bet is probably to try and find one of the big hotels that caters mainly for European tourists and see if they are showing it. On the whole they'd have stood a much better chance of catching the match if they were staying in one of the big tourist AI hotel resorts like Varadero or on one of the more developed Cayos.
