Madrid Welcomes World Cup Final Fans with Giant Screens at Wizink Center
The Wizink Center in Madrid will open its doors to show a defining moment in football history. The Women’s World Cup final, featuring a showdown between Spain and England, is scheduled to begin at noon. The venue becomes a focal point for football fans across the city and beyond as people anticipate a day of high drama and national pride.
The Community of Madrid owns the venue, and an agreement has been reached with Madrid City Council and the Royal Spanish Football Federation to install a giant screen inside the sports palace in the Goya district. In addition, the city government plans to create a fan zone outside the arena offering games and joyful entertainment for attendees and passersby alike. This setup mirrors a broader effort by Madrid to host shared viewing experiences that bring large crowds together in secure, organized spaces. [CITE: City of Madrid announcements]

How to watch the World Cup final on Wizink?
Fans interested in attending the event should secure tickets in advance. Tickets can be purchased through the City Council’s online platforms or in person at the venue, with sections designated for public viewing. This approach aligns with a wider pattern in Spain where multiple cities create large-screen experiences for landmark matches, turning a sporting occasion into a nationwide celebration.
Madrid is joining other major Spanish cities in this communal viewing initiative. For example, Barcelona is planning a giant screen at CEM Olímpics Vall d’Hebron to broadcast the final. Local leadership there views the event as a historic moment for Spanish sport and a chance to bring communities together, with expectations riding high and excitement mounting across the regional capital.
