The giant screen installed at Son Fusteret gathered nearly 9,800 people to watch the World Cup final. The venue became the epicentre of support for the Spanish National Team in Palma.
Son Fusteret became the heart of football in Palma this Sunday. Nearly 9,800 fans gathered at the venue to follow the final of the World Cup that the Spanish National Team was playing on a giant screen. The event, promoted by the Palma City Council, exceeded all expectations and filled the space with red shirts, flags, and chants.
Party atmosphere from early on
Hours before the kick-off, thousands of people began to fill the venue. Entire families, groups of friends, and supporters of all ages arrived in national colours. The atmosphere was festive and family-friendly, with children waving flags and adults singing the anthem. The organisation set up shaded areas and beverage sales points to make the wait more bearable.
The giant screen, measuring 35 square metres, was installed in the centre of the football field, allowing for optimal viewing from any point. Attendees followed each play with intensity, erupting in cheers during goal opportunities and falling silent during tense moments. The camaraderie was total, with no notable incidents.
Palma, a hub of support for the team
The Balearic capital became one of the main support points for the Spanish National Team during the final. The City Council decided to install the giant screen so that fans who could not travel to the World Cup venue could experience the match in community. The response was massive: 9,800 people packed Son Fusteret, a figure that doubles attendance at similar events organised in previous years.
Among the attendees, many highlighted the importance of sharing the experience.
“It’s exciting to see how Palma comes together to support Spain. This is historic,” commented María, a resident of Son Gotleu who attended with her two children.The atmosphere remained throughout the broadcast, with chants like “Yes, we can!” and “Go for them!” resonating in the venue.
A success in organisation and participation
The day left an image of unity and enthusiasm among the thousands of fans. For many, it was an opportunity to experience a historic moment for Spanish football together. Son Fusteret, which has already hosted other large-scale events, is consolidating as a reference space for major popular gatherings in Palma.
The City Council positively assessed the turnout. Municipal sources indicated that the initiative “has been a resounding success” and that they will consider repeating it for future significant sporting events. The logistics, with additional screens and a public address system, worked without a hitch. Attendees also praised the cleanliness and safety of the venue.
For fans who could not attend, the match could be followed in bars and homes across the island. But those who were at Son Fusteret experienced a unique moment: 9,800 people cheering in unison, with faith in the team. Football once again proved its ability to unite people.
