Colón Square recovers World Cup screens with Tom Holland as star guest in the run-up to Spain-Cape Verde

The Plaza de Colón, in Madrid, will once again become one of the main epicenters for fans during the United States, Mexico, and Canada 2026 World Cup, following an agreement between the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and the City Council of the capital to enable a large space for following the national team's matches.

Under the name Plaza Selección, the venue will feature giant screens for broadcasting the matches of the team led by Luis de la Fuente, as well as a wide range of entertainment including live music, gastronomic areas, official stores, and an exhibition of trophies linked to the Spanish national team.

One of the main attractions of the inauguration will be the presence of actor Tom Holland, who will serve as guest of honor in the run-up to the match between Spain and Cape Verde, coinciding with his promotional visit to Madrid for the premiere of his new Spider-Man film alongside his wife Zendaya, who have already confirmed their attendance at El Hormiguero. Their participation seeks to reinforce the festive and media-driven nature of the event.

Admission to the fan zone will be free until full capacity, and the screens will operate during all Spain matches played before 10:00 PM. Additionally, the City Council has confirmed that a second screen will be installed in Madrid Río if the national team advances in the tournament, with the aim of expanding viewing capacity in the final stages.
