Spain's victory against France in the 2026 World Cup semi-finals, with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal via penalty and Pedro Porro, sparked euphoria in Alcorcón. Celebrations took place in various parts of the city, notably a gathering of residents in Las Retamas where a large flag was unfurled.
The City Council, in collaboration with local sports clubs and associations, set up a giant screen in Reyes de España square, next to the town hall. Starting at 7:30 PM, various pre-match activities were scheduled, but the real party began after Spain's decisive 0-2 win, spreading to the rest of the municipality.
In Las Retamas, the avenue of the same name became the scene of a large gathering of Alcorcón residents who unfurled a flag in an atmosphere of celebration and hope. Drivers passing by joined the festivities by honking their car horns.
Now, anticipation focuses on the final. Residents of Alcorcón hope for the return of the giant screen initiative in Reyes de España square to celebrate the national team's potential second World Cup title. Although no official announcement has been made, requests are numerous.
Spain's opponent in the final will be the winner of the match between Argentina and England, scheduled for tonight. Alcorcón is preparing for another intense celebration should the national team secure victory.
