There are just a few days left until the kickoff of the World Cup, and if you’ve been looking for the perfect place to experience the atmosphere of the biggest tournament in Lisbon (other than these venues around the city), we know just the spot.
The Lisbon City Council and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) have joined forces to create the Lisbon Football Arena, transforming the iconic Terreiro do Paço into the capital’s main fan zone. Let’s find out all the details?
39 days of soccer, fun, and free admission
From June 11 until the final on July 19, Praça do Comércio will be the epicenter of support for the National Team (and other teams, of course) and the city’s main sports celebrations.
The venue was designed to keep fans entertained from the first to the last minute; they certainly won’t miss a second of what’s happening on the giant screen set up for this purpose, which will broadcast one to two matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup daily.
To ensure you can watch these matches in the best company, dedicated food and beverage areas have been set up , and various entertainment events are scheduled throughout the coming weeks, guaranteeing an accessible and engaging experience for all fans of the beautiful game.
Carlos Moedas, mayor of the city, highlights the importance of democratizing access to major sporting events:
On the Federation’s side, Pedro Proença emphasized the “umbilical connection” that links the National Team to the city of Lisbon. The FPF leader praised the municipality’s prompt response to the project, highlighting the historical ties between the institutions and the “spirit of unity and collective will to do good.”
