[Talk-africa] OSM TAG FOR FOOTBALL VIEWING CENTER

[Samuel Darkwah Manu]

Hello Emmanuel,
We have these facilities in Ghana too, although they mostly show football matches they sometimes show other popular sports including boxing. I haven't seen any specific tag for these centres on the OSM Wiki and since they are endemic to our region we might need to create a new tag for it. I propose amenity=sports_viewing_centre. 

The existing tags that might work in some cases are viewing centres which are pubs. With those you can map them with a combination of amenity=pub/bar + television=yes. This works for pubs that show live matches/sports. In these cases the POI is primarily a pub or bar.
Will be good to know what others think.
Regards,

Hello everyone,
I trust you are all doing well.
Yesterday, I reached out to the community on the telegram group to request assistance on the appropriate tag for  "football viewing centers" in Africa (Kindly see the picture for context:https://drive.google.com/file/d/17wCZuO4SJslKk7NzjKBnkQriOH6uQakk/view?usp=sharing) as there are none yet available on OSM.
It was suggested to share this on the mailing list to explore the possibilities of proposing a suitable tag for it (All ideas are welcomed!).
It will be great if we can discuss an appropriate tag for them. Or if there are already existing tags that we could use , that will also be great, to ensure uniformity.
I look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks! 
Regards
