Spanish fans cause a mini-earthquake during the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina
Our citizen seismic station detected the ground movements generated when the Spanish national team scored against Argentina, as well as during the annulment of the second goal and the final victory celebration
Massive events like this generate ground vibrations when so many people jump up and down nearby.
A citizen station installed in Girona like ours captured these moments clearly. The spectrogram captured the force generated by the Spanish fans, alongside the ground movements shown on the graph.
CSIC has echoed this same event on a global level.
