The Palma City Council has set up a giant screen in Son Fusteret to follow the World Cup semi-final between Spain and France. The venue will open at 18:00 with music and a festive atmosphere.
The Palma City Council has announced the installation of a giant screen at the sports centre in Son Fusteret to watch the World Cup semi-final between Spain and France live. The match will take place on Tuesday, July 14 at 21:00, and the venue will open its doors at 18:00 so fans can enjoy the pre-match atmosphere.
The initiative aims to provide a meeting point for supporters of the Spanish national team in the Balearic capital. According to the City Council, the giant screen is in addition to other options such as the Fan Zone at the Porto Pi Shopping Centre or Sala Zero, in Es Gremi, which will also broadcast the match.
Evening programme and timings
The organisers have prepared a programme that starts at 18:00 with the opening of the doors. From 20:00, DJ Jaume Colombás will play live music for an hour, just before the kick-off. The match will begin at 21:00 and a large turnout is expected.
If Spain qualifies for the final, the night will continue with a post-party featuring the same DJ. The weather forecast for the evening is favourable, encouraging fans to attend the outdoor venue.
Public transport reinforcement to reach Son Fusteret
The Municipal Transport Company (EMT) will reinforce the bus lines connecting Son Fusteret with various points in Palma. The aim is to facilitate travel and ensure mobility before and after the match. The City Council recommends using public transport, especially given the expected high attendance.
For local residents, the bus reinforcements provide relief, as parking around the sports centre is limited. The Council reminds that it is also possible to access by bike or on foot if living in nearby neighbourhoods such as Son Oliva or Son Fuster.
Alternatives to watch the match in Palma
In addition to the giant screen at Son Fusteret, the Porto Pi Shopping Centre has set up a Fan Zone with live music, DJ sessions, workshops, and foosball. Entry is free, and the shopping centre has ample dining areas. On the other hand, Sala Zero, in Es Gremi, offers an indoor option with air conditioning and seating. Entry is also free, although it is necessary to download it in advance to secure a spot.
For Palma residents, these alternatives allow them to choose the atmosphere they prefer: outdoors with a festive vibe at Son Fusteret, more family-friendly at Porto Pi, or more intimate at Sala Zero. In any case, all options are free and designed so that no one misses the match.
The semi-final features two teams arriving with morale: Spain defeated Belgium in the quarter-finals, while France overcame Morocco. The winner will face the victor of the other semi-final in the final. For Palma fans, this event is an opportunity to cheer together for the team and, who knows, perhaps celebrate a place in the final with an impromptu party.
