The 'El Abrazo' Multifunctional Venue in La Rinconada brought together over 2,000 people to watch Spain's victory over France (2-0), which qualifies the team for the World Cup final. The Town Hall has already announced that it will install an even larger screen for the decisive match on Sunday.
The Spanish national football team has made history by reaching its second final, 16 years after the title in South Africa 2010. Goals from Oyarzábal, from a penalty, and Pedro Porro sealed a 2-0 win against France that sparked madness across the country, especially in La Rinconada, where over 2,000 people gathered at the 'El Abrazo' Multifunctional Venue to experience the match on a giant screen.
The atmosphere was that of a grand celebration, with families, groups of friends, and fans of all ages who did not want to miss the opportunity to share in the excitement of the match. The La Rinconada Town Hall, which organised the event, has received very positive feedback and is already working on the logistics for Sunday. The mayor has confirmed that the current screen will be replaced by an even larger one, so that no one misses the match that could give Spain its second World Cup.
A successful turnout that exceeds expectations
The massive turnout at the 'El Abrazo' Multifunctional Venue surprised even the organisers, who expected a good response but not this much. More than 2,000 people packed the space, with flags, red shirts, and chants accompanying every play. The victory over France, considered one of the best performances by the team in the tournament, was celebrated in style.
The Town Hall highlights that the event has not only served to watch football but also to strengthen community bonds and pride in belonging to the municipality. “It has been a magical night, with an incredible atmosphere. People have enjoyed themselves and felt part of something great,” municipal sources stated. The initiative has been so well received that the Town Hall is already considering repeating the experience for future major sporting events.
On Sunday, an even bigger screen for the final
Next Sunday, Spain will face Argentina or England in the World Cup final. To ensure that no one misses it, the La Rinconada Town Hall has announced that it will install a larger screen than the one used in the semi-finals. This measure aims to accommodate all residents who wish to attend and enhance the viewing experience.
The 'El Abrazo' venue will again be the meeting point, with a schedule yet to be confirmed but adapted to the start of the match. Attendees are advised to arrive early to secure a good spot, and it is reminded that access will be free and open. Additionally, shaded areas and food and drink sales points will be set up to make the wait more comfortable.
Anticipation is at its peak. If the opponent is Argentina, it would be a re-enactment of the so-called 'match of the century' that could not take place last March. If it is England, it would be a rematch of the last Euro final, which Spain won 2-1 with a goal from Oyarzábal in the final moments. Whichever the opponent, La Rinconada is already preparing for another night of football and shared excitement.
The event is on Sunday at the 'El Abrazo' Multifunctional Venue. The giant screen promises to be even more spectacular, and residents are already revving up to cheer on La Roja in pursuit of the second star. There is no better plan than to experience it as a community.
