The measure covers games involving England, Scotland, Spain and Germany, alongside the tournament’s decisive stages: the semi-finals, third-place play-off and final.
That list targets fixtures most likely to draw visiting supporters, rather than creating a blanket extension for every game. The report says the municipality expects thousands of football fans to pass through the resorts during the competition, giving hospitality businesses a clear commercial reason to plan special screenings.
For bars and restaurants, the extra quarter-hour could be valuable. Customers can finish drinks, settle bills and leave without an immediate rush when the referee signals full time.
The policy is deliberately narrow. It does not allow venues to extend trading indefinitely into the early hours, and it applies only when a match begins within the establishment’s existing permitted schedule.
That restriction keeps the focus on post-match dispersal rather than a wider nightlife expansion. It also gives residents a defined limit to the additional activity around major fixtures.
The report says Calvià is repeating a formula used during Euro 2024, which local authorities considered successful. That previous experience provides the basis for another temporary adjustment without changing normal licensing arrangements.
The practical test will come on high-interest match nights, when crowded venues, transport demand and supporter movement converge. A short extension may help businesses manage the final minutes of each event, but enforcement and noise control will remain important for nearby residents.
As the World Cup schedule approaches, attention will turn to which fixtures attract the biggest crowds and how effectively Magalluf and Palmanova balance football tourism with local routines.
