Parque Finca Liana in Móstoles became the epicentre of the celebration for the Spanish national team's world title. Over 13,500 people watched the match on a giant screen set up by the City Council.
More than 13,500 residents of Móstoles gathered this Sunday at Parque Finca Liana to experience the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina live. The giant screen installed by the Móstoles City Council turned the venue into the city's meeting point to support the national team on their way to the title.
From 7:00 PM, fans began to fill the park. The pre-match entertainment was provided by a DJ, who played music to warm up the atmosphere before the kickoff. Red shirts, flags, and scarves of the Spanish national team filled the space with colour, with families, groups of friends, and neighbours of all ages ready to experience a historic night.
A thrilling final that ended in collective euphoria
The match, corresponding to the 2026 World Cup final, saw Spain face Argentina in a high-stakes duel. The residents of Móstoles followed each play with intensity, from the first minutes to the final whistle. When the referee blew the final whistle and Spain was crowned world champion, euphoria erupted in Parque Finca Liana. Hugs, chants, and flags waving in the wind marked the start of a celebration that lasted for hours.
This victory marks the third World Cup in history for the Spanish national team, following their successes in 2010 and 2014 (the latter in the women's category). For many attendees, it was the first time they could celebrate a title of this magnitude with thousands of neighbours, something that, as several fans agreed, amplified the excitement.
Security measures and municipal organisation
The Móstoles City Council deployed a comprehensive security operation to ensure the evening went smoothly. Officers from the National Police, Municipal Police, and Civil Protection monitored the venue, while municipal employees handled the technical setup and logistics. No significant incidents were reported, according to municipal sources, and the day unfolded normally.
The initiative to install a giant screen at Parque Finca Liana is not new: the council had previously organised similar broadcasts during previous sporting events, such as the Euro Cup final or key matches of the national team. This time, the public response exceeded all expectations, with attendance doubling that of previous events.
For the residents of Móstoles, the evening provided an opportunity to share the triumph in a festive and safe environment, without needing to travel to central Madrid. Many highlighted the convenience of having a meeting space in their own city, with hospitality services and rest areas set up.
The celebration continued in the streets of Móstoles after the match, with chants and car caravans traversing the main avenues. However, there were no serious incidents, as confirmed by police sources. Sunday night will be remembered by the people of Móstoles as one of the most special of the sporting year.
