Everything you need to watch France–Spain in Dakhla on Tuesday 14 July 2026: local kick-off time, beIN SPORTS broadcast and venues to confirm.

France–Spain: a semi-final to follow from Dakhla

France face Spain in the semi-final of the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Tuesday 14 July. The fixture is confirmed by FIFA, which has scheduled the match at the Dallas stadium. For travellers in Dakhla, it is an ideal evening to head to a bar or café rather than staying alone in your room: the match brings together two European teams closely followed by the region's French-speaking and Spanish visitors. The city lives to the rhythm of watersports, but its cafés also screen the big international fixtures when demand is strong. Remember to call before heading out, as venues' plans can change on the day.

What time is France–Spain in Dakhla?

Kick-off is announced for 3 pm in Dallas, i.e. 9 pm in mainland France. Dakhla is on UTC+1 in July: the match therefore starts at 8 pm local time. Arrive between 7 pm and 7:30 pm if you want to choose a seat, order food and check the sound is on. A semi-final can draw a big crowd, especially with several groups of travellers staying at the lagoon camps. Bear in mind that extra time and penalties can stretch the evening well past 10:30 pm; arrange your taxi home in advance.

Which channel broadcasts the match in Morocco?

beIN SPORTS holds the broadcasting rights for the entire 2026 World Cup in the MENA region and lists the semi-finals in its dedicated line-up, with beIN SPORTS 1 indicated for the headline fixtures. SNRT secured the Moroccan national team's matches, but that does not guarantee a free broadcast of France–Spain. When booking a table, ask explicitly whether the venue has a beIN SPORTS subscription and whether the channel will indeed be on on 14 July. This precaution avoids arriving in front of a screen showing another match or a news channel.

Where to try your luck in Dakhla?

The strongest lead is the Pink Flamingo Bar at Dakhla Attitude, a bar on the edge of the lagoon. The official Dakhla Attitude website confirms the bar and restaurant exist; traveller reviews also mention a big screen in the bar. This is not an official broadcast announcement for this semi-final: contact the establishment and ask to book for the match. In town, plan B is the central cafés and restaurants with screens, formats regularly used for major competitions. The local guide MoroccoTravelBase recommends arriving early or booking for the big fixtures, without publishing a definitive list of confirmed bars.

Practical tips for a successful evening

Choose a venue that confirms in advance: a screen visible from the table, match sound, the beIN SPORTS channel, dinner options and closing time. In Dakhla, the kitesurf camps can be far from the centre; if you are staying at PK25, Dakhla Attitude or another camp, ask whether a shuttle or taxi can bring you back after the final whistle. Take a power bank and keep your accommodation's address offline. Respect the venue's habits, particularly family areas and rules about alcohol. To round off the evening, browse the Dakhla restaurants, the accommodation and the beaches and spots page if you want to plan an outing the next day.

Planning the rest of your stay in Dakhla

The lagoon centres can be far from town: confirm the airport transfers, the shuttles and the board arrangements before departure.
