Santa Fe and Maipu) and the other one in the Amphitheater of Parque Centenario (Avenida Lillo and Marechal), for the public to watch all the matches for free.

In Florida street interventions will be presented to form part of the Digital Museum, reviewing the history of the different World Cups since 1930, with a detail of the various locations, figures, and highest scorers.

1. A "Fan Corner" for people to send messages to the national team players, suggest new songs to be sung at the stadiums, and hear the latest news about the national team.
2. A recreation area for children, which will include a playground, an educational sector so that more kids learn about the countries that dispute the World Cup and a sports field so they can enjoy free time kicking penalties and playing football.
