The Badalona City Council has confirmed a strategic location with professional sound to follow the World Cup 2026 final between Spain and Argentina. The event is this Sunday, July 19, at 21:00.
Badalona joins the football celebration. The local council has prepared a giant screen for fans to watch the World Cup 2026 final between Spain and Argentina in a communal atmosphere. The chosen location is the Fórum esplanade, a spacious and central area that has hosted major sporting events in the past.
An unmissable event for Badalona fans
The screen will be installed with professional sound so that no goal shout is missed. Access will be free, and the capacity, limited for safety, will be controlled through designated entrances from 19:00. The organisers recommend arriving early to avoid congestion. The final, which kicks off at 21:00, sees Spain seeking its second world title after winning in 2010.
For the residents of Badalona, this is an opportunity to experience the match in community without travelling to Barcelona. The Fórum area has good public transport access, with the metro stop on line 2 (Fòrum) and several bus lines. The City Council has announced that municipal bus frequencies will be increased during the night to facilitate the return home.
A deployment of security and logistics
The security operation will include control barriers and civil protection personnel. Entry with dangerous objects will be prohibited, and hydration points will be established. The Badalona Local Police will patrol the area to ensure order. Additionally, an information point has been set up to address questions about access and schedules.
The World Cup 2026 final is a historic event: Spain faces Argentina, the reigning world champion, in a match that promises strong emotions. The people of Badalona do not want to miss it, and the City Council has responded with infrastructure aimed at replicating the success of giant screens set up for other finals, such as in 2010, when the Spanish team was crowned champion in South Africa.
For those who prefer to watch the match from home, the television broadcast will be provided by RTVE, which will air the match live. However, the experience of sharing goals with hundreds of neighbours is hard to match. The local council has encouraged citizens to come in red shirts and bring flags to colour the esplanade.
With this initiative, Badalona joins other cities like Barcelona, Madrid, and Zaragoza, which have also prepared giant screens. The final will kick off at 21:00, and a massive turnout is expected. Fans who cannot arrive early will still have the option to follow the match from the screens of the city's bars, many of which have already announced they will open their doors for the occasion.
