Football Trips to Palma de Mallorca

Football Trips to Palma de Mallorca

Sea air drifts through Palma’s old town, tapas counters fill up, and red shirts begin moving toward Estadi Mallorca Son Moix. A football trip to Palma de Mallorca gives you tapas, sea air, red shirts, and a proper LaLiga night at the renovated Son Moix. We have helped over 50,000 travelers since 2008, and with flights, hand-picked hotels, official seats, and our ticket guarantee, our Mallorca packages keep the weekend wonderfully simple.

Palma before the floodlights

The day starts gently: coffee, a flaky ensaimada, and a slow walk through Palma old town where balconies hang over narrow lanes and the cathedral catches the morning light. By lunch, Mercat de l’Olivar pulls you in from Plaza del Olivar, between Plaça d’Espanya and Carrer Sant Miquel. Inside, tasting counters, tapas stands, takeaway bites and small restaurants turn the market into a living pre-game ritual.

Try pa amb oli, a slice of sobrasada, or a variat mallorquí before the rhythm changes. Streets empty a little, scarves appear, and the pull of the ground gets stronger. With us, you can combine Palma’s old town with Mallorca while we take care of the practical pieces. After the final whistle, La Lonja and Santa Catalina are natural places to let the evening stretch on.

The island club in red

Mallorca was formally registered on 5 March 1916, first known as Alfonso XIII FBC, with its original board formed on Calle Can Armengol in Palma. The nickname Los Bermellones comes from the vermilion-red colours, and it fits a club that carries the island’s voice with pride. This is not a giant from the mainland; it is a stubborn, emotional, flagship side with stories that reach far beyond the Balearics.

  • The club lifted the Spanish Super Cup in 1998.
  • In 1999, the red shirts reached the European Cup Winners’ Cup final.
  • That same 1998/99 season brought a third-place finish in LaLiga.
  • The 2003 Copa del Rey remains one of the great chapters in the club’s story.
  • Samuel Eto’o is still woven into local memory, now honoured by a René Mäkelä mural seven metres wide and almost ten metres high.
  • Andrés Iniesta made his LaLiga debut at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on 21 December 2002.

Those details make the game feel deeper when you watch Los Bermellones at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, because every chant carries a little island history with it.

Estadi Mallorca Son Moix feels reborn

Estadi Mallorca Son Moix now feels built for football. Its capacity is 25,736, the pitch measures 105 x 68 m, and the 601-day redevelopment changed the whole relationship between the crowd and the grass. The athletics track was removed, bringing supporters closer to the action, while the renovated ground was re-inaugurated on 13 January 2024 for a league fixture.

Older images do not show the current edge of the place. A new ring beneath the seating areas improves movement, the East Stand roof sharpens the look, and replaced seats, upgraded hospitality spaces, two LED scoreboards and renovated lighting give the evening a cleaner, brighter feel. Plaza Fondo Sur has also become a fresh meeting point connected to the main singing area. For a sharper LaLiga night, visit the renovated Estadi Mallorca Son Moix and choose your Mallorca home game with the full trip arranged by us.

Red noise after sunset

When the light drops, the Fondo Sur takes over. This is the corner of colour, flags and chants, driven by L’INFERN1916, the animation area the club calls the epicentre of Mallorquinista fire. The supporters there are known as dimonis, and they defend Estadi Mallorca Son Moix with noise for 90 minutes.

Before kick-off, Mallorca Sports Bar on Camí dels Reis works as a gathering point, while the Son Moix Fan Zone has previously brought music, children’s games, DJ Cupper, Banda Loop, buñuelos, mini donuts and Estrella Damm promotions into the build-up. The ground sits near Ca’n Valero, around three kilometres from central Palma, so the night can slide back toward La Lonja for drinks and small plates, or Santa Catalina for a food-led finish.
