Spanish bars and hospitality venues are preparing for the World Cup by increasing staffing and supplies, including ordering more beer, in anticipation that the national team’s matches will draw larger crowds. Outlets report that many businesses expect the team’s continued progress to boost footfall and help fill bars during matchdays. At the same time, operators acknowledge that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed customer habits, with some patrons still less likely to visit or arrive at the same times as before. The preparations also account for match scheduling factors: early kick-offs and time-zone differences are described as reducing attendance at the start of games, when it can be harder for fans to gather. Overall, venues are adjusting to both lingering shifts in consumer behavior and the impact of fixture times, while relying on World Cup momentum to strengthen demand. The coverage emphasizes the sector’s efforts to manage expected crowds through expanded resources rather than any single betting or fan-entry initiative.
