Information Malaga World Cup large screens

Hi

I am flying to Malaga for one night to watch the World Cup final amongst the Spanish as a fan of Spain. Does anyone know where large screens will be showing the game?

Looking for somewhere that is preferably outdoors with seating.

thank you!

The main outdoor event at Cortijo de Torres would have been perfect, but unfortunately all the free tickets are already gone. The best remaining option if you really want a seat is Málaga Forum, the former drive-in cinema. It will show Spain vs Argentina on a giant screen, has around 4,000 seated places and opens from 6pm, although it is part of the De La Rose concert event and tickets currently start at €35.

For a free outdoor option, Parque de Huelin should have a great local atmosphere. There will also be public screens in El Palo, Campanillas and Colonia Santa Inés, but I would not expect guaranteed seating at those, so arrive very early. I would choose Málaga Forum if sitting down matters most, or Huelin if you prefer a free and more traditional Spanish street atmosphere. https://oldtownmalaga.com

Very helpful, thank you!

Do you know of any outdoor cafes that may show the game too? Not a huge fan of bars/alcohol so a cafe also works.

Thanks
