Fuengirola City Council adds the stage at the Fairgrounds in Los Boliches as a second broadcast point for the World Cup final, which Spain will play against Argentina on Sunday, July 19 at 21:00 hours. The musical performances will be postponed until the match is over.
The World Cup fever is overflowing in Fuengirola. The City Council has decided to set up a second giant screen at the Fairgrounds in Los Boliches so that no one misses the World Cup final that Spain will play against Argentina this Sunday, July 19 at 21:00 hours. This measure adds to the already announced one in the Plaza de España, in the city centre, and aims to allow locals and visitors to share a historic moment for Spanish football without giving up the festive atmosphere of the Fair of Los Boliches, which takes place during these days.
Two screens for a night of football and fair
The screen will be installed at the main stage of the Fairgrounds, where the match will be broadcast live. The decision responds to the expectation of a large influx of the public, as the Spanish team reaches the final after a brilliant campaign and the anticipation is at its peak. The City Council has coordinated with the fair organizers so that the scheduled musical performances – Flamencura and Miguel Campello ‘El Bicho’ – postpone their start until the match is over, thus allowing attendees to enjoy both experiences.
The Plaza de España, for its part, will offer a more central and open environment, with the capacity to accommodate hundreds of fans. Both spaces will be properly equipped with sound and mega screens to ensure good visibility from any point. The City Council reminds that it is not necessary to reserve a spot and that access is free and open.
A Sunday of coexistence and celebration
The final pits two teams that have faced each other in previous World Cups, but this time Spain enters with the hope of lifting its second World Cup title. For the people of Fuengirola, the chance to experience the match in company, whether in the Plaza de España or at the Fairgrounds, turns the evening into a major social and sporting event. The City Council encourages everyone to attend with a respectful attitude and to celebrate sport in a festive atmosphere.
The Fair of Los Boliches, which takes place during these days, is one of the most traditional events on the local calendar. With this initiative, the City Council manages to combine two great attractions: the fervour for the national team and the joy of the booths. The residents of Los Boliches and the entire municipality thus have a perfect excuse not to miss either football or the party.
For those who prefer a quieter plan, watching the match from home is also a valid option, but the City Council emphasizes that the collective experience is unique. “It’s an opportunity to share the excitement with neighbours and feel the pride of being Spanish,” municipal sources state. The weather forecast for Sunday is good, with mild temperatures, inviting outdoor enjoyment.
“We want everyone to experience this historic final in an atmosphere of coexistence and joy. That’s why we have expanded the broadcast points and adapted the fair’s programming,” explain sources from the City Council.
The World Cup final will take place at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar, although the match will start at 21:00 Spanish time. Spain arrives after eliminating France in the semi-finals, while Argentina did the same with Brazil. This will be the third time both teams face each other in a World Cup final, with a record so far favourable to the Argentines in the previous meetings of 1986 and 2014. But the fans in Fuengirola are confident that this time history will be different.
For those who are late, there are still spots available in both designated areas. The municipal recommendation is to arrive early to secure a good spot. The doors will open at 20:00 hours at both locations, an hour before the kick-off. After the match, the party will continue in Los Boliches with musical performances, so the night promises to be long and exciting.
