The Colmenar Viejo Town Hall has organised a public broadcast of the Spain-France match on Tuesday, July 14, in the Plaza de Toros La Corredera, featuring a 9x5 metre screen.
The Colmenar Viejo Town Hall has decided that no one should miss the World Cup semi-final. On Tuesday, July 14, the Plaza de Toros La Corredera will turn into an improvised football stadium with a giant screen measuring 9 by 5 metres. The event will take place in the hours leading up to the match, which will see Spain face France for a spot in the grand final.
A Family Plan at La Corredera
The municipal initiative aims to bring the locals together in a festive atmosphere. "Come with your family, with your friends, bring your flag and let’s fill the stands with red and yellow to cheer our National Team towards the grand final," reads the Town Hall's statement. The bullring, with a capacity for several hundred people, is preparing to welcome fans of all ages.
The giant screen will be the centre of attention. With dimensions that double those of a conventional large-format television, it promises an immersive experience. The Town Hall has confirmed that the sound will be enhanced so that every goal feels like it’s happening right on the pitch.
Colmenar Viejo Backs the National Team
The call has generated notable enthusiasm in the town. In recent days, the Town Hall's social media has intensified the promotion of the event, and locals are already preparing flags and red shirts. "It’s an opportunity to experience a historic moment together," municipal sources state. The match against France is crucial, and fan support is deemed essential.
This is not the first time Colmenar Viejo has organised such an event. In previous sporting occasions, like the Euro Cup final, the Plaza de Toros was filled with supporters. However, the anticipation is greater this time: a World Cup semi-final against the neighbouring French always carries a friendly rivalry that heightens the excitement.
For those who cannot make it, there’s always the option to watch it at home, but the community experience has its charm. "Nothing beats sharing goals with your neighbour," jokes a municipal spokesperson. The Town Hall recommends arriving early to secure a good spot and, of course, not to forget the flag.
The match will kick off at 21:00 hours (peninsular time), although the venue will open from 19:30 to allow attendees to settle in and warm up the atmosphere. A bar service will be available with drinks and snacks, and the use of public transport or parking in designated areas outside the centre is recommended.
The Spain-France semi-final promises to be one of the most followed matches of the tournament. With this initiative, Colmenar Viejo joins the wave of football fervour sweeping the country. Who knows, perhaps on Tuesday night, the stands of La Corredera will be the best thermometer of national joy.
