3 LGUs in Mindanao to Host Watch Parties for FIFA World Cup Final
MALAYBALAY CITY (MindaNews / 19 July 2026) – At least three local government units in Mindanao will host free viewings of the FIFA World Cup Final between defending champion Argentina and 2010 winner Spain.
In Iligan City, the watch party will be held at Anahaw Amphitheater in Pala-o, with gates opening as early as 12 a.m. on Monday (July 20).
The match, scheduled for 3:00 a.m. Monday (local time), will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA.
Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, will hold its viewing at the municipal hall compound, where gates open at 2 a.m. Free coffee and pan de sal will be provided. Viewers are encouraged to wear red or yellow for Spain and blue or white for Argentina.
Cagayan de Oro City will open the city hall grounds at 12 a.m., offering free hot coffee and chocolate. Attendees are advised not to bring monoblock chairs.
Spain, aiming for their second World Cup title after their 2010 win against the Netherlands, faces Argentina, a three-time champion (1978, 1986, 2022) with six final appearances. Argentina seeks back-to-back victories, while Spain could become the first nation to secure consecutive men’s and women’s World Cup titles after their women’s team won in 2023.
