The mayor of Calvià has signed a municipal decree due to the 2026 Football World Cup, which will take place between June 11 and July 19. The document establishes a series of rules aimed at reconciling the development of leisure activities with safety, citizen coexistence, and the rest of residents and tourists.The text establishes an exceptional time regulation for broadcasting certain matches. According to the City Council, through a statement, if a match starts within the establishment's ordinary opening hours, it will not be necessary to stop the activity of the premises or the terrace at the usual closing time, thus avoiding clients being left without seeing the end. Establishments will be able to extend closing time up to 15 minutes after the end of the match, including extra time and penalty shootouts. It is important to note that this time exception will apply exclusively to matches played by the national teams of Spain, Germany, England, and Scotland, in addition to the semi-final matches, the final, and the third-place play-off.Conversely, if the match starts at or after the official closing time of the public establishment, it will not be able to keep its doors open and must strictly adhere to the time stipulated in the ordinary license.The decree consolidates a series of coexistence rules that were already implemented during Eurocopa 2024, an event that took place with complete normality in Calvià under these same guidelines: in terraces and outdoor areas, from midnight the audio emission must be completely suppressed, and the volume will be set to zero. Only the visual signal of the matches may be broadcast to ensure the rest of neighbors and tourists.Likewise, screens and televisions must always be oriented towards the inside of establishments. The measure aims to prevent public space crowds that could hinder the passage of pedestrians and road traffic.The Calvià Town Hall warns that non-compliance with the provisions of this decree, as well as with the applicable Municipal Ordinances, will be subject to sanction. Therefore, establishment owners are appealed to collaborate in preventing any disturbance to safety and coexistence.
