The Tourism Office of Spain (Turespaña) and LALIGA joined forces to promote cultural ties between Spain and India, hosting a watch party at the historic Bombay Gymkhana in Mumbai. The event celebrated the collaboration between Spain’s national tourism body and the world’s most influential football league, connecting fans through the Real Madrid CF vs. CA Osasuna match.

The watch party immersed guests in an authentic Spanish experience with tapas and engaging activities, such as raffles, giving them a taste of Spain’s rich cultural heritage. The event underscored the shared mission of both Turespaña and LALIGA: using the universal appeal of football as a bridge to strengthen cultural and personal bonds between Spain and India.

In line with its commitment to growing the sport in India, LALIGA has trained over 6,500 young players through its LALIGA Football Schools program, operating 48 centers nationwide. The league further enhances accessibility for Indian fans by scheduling broadcasts that align with local time zones. Recently, LALIGA launched the “Welcome to LALIGA” guide, providing fans with an in-depth look at the 2024-25 Spanish football season.

Elena Orland, Director of the Tourism Office of Spain in India said, “This event not only celebrates Spain’s beloved game of football but also shines a spotlight on the diverse landscapes of our regions, from Madrid’s vibrant city life to Navarra’s pristine natural beauty. With lush forests, rugged mountains, and unique biospheres, Navarra offers a sanctuary for nature lovers and adventurers alike. We hope this experience inspires Indian fans to explore the incredible diversity Spain has to offer.”

Aakriti Vohra, LALIGA Global Network Delegate in India, added, “Football is a universal language, and events like these allow us to connect with fans on a deeper level. It’s a moment of pride for us to partner with institutions that recognize football’s power to bring people together and foster cultural exchange.”
