For the next month the Kingdom lives on football time, and because this tournament is played on the other side of the world, football time means home time: kickoffs at one in the morning, gatherings that begin at midnight, celebrations at dawn. Mille congratulates the Green Falcons and wishes them a run the whole country will remember — and this guide is for everyone planning to cheer them on properly, from a majlis set up for it. ## Where the Green Falcons stand: Group H Saudi Arabia drew a serious group — Spain, Uruguay and Cape Verde. Three matches, three very different nights. All kickoff times below are **Riyadh time**: Match Kickoff (Riyadh) The night it makes Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay Tue 16 June · 1:00 AM A midnight majlis — gather Monday evening, kick off at one Spain vs Saudi Arabia Sun 21 June · 7:00 PM The prime-time night — family dinner, then the match Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde Sat 27 June · 3:00 AM The all-nighter — gahwa duty until sunrise Get through the group, and the knockout rounds run deep into July. Plan for a long, happy month. ## This is a majlis World Cup When matches kick off at 1:00 and 3:00 AM, this tournament will not be watched in cafés. It will be watched at home — in the room Saudi houses have always reserved for exactly this kind of night. The majlis was built for long hours of company, conversation and coffee. Football simply gives it a fixture list. ### Seating for the full squad - **Count the real crowd.** Match nights pull in cousins, neighbours and friends-of-friends. Plan for your biggest realistic night, not the average one. - **A [modular corner sofa](https://mille.sa/pages/corner-sofas.html) is the backbone** — it seats the most people along the walls and keeps every seat part of the room. - **Keep a bench of substitutes.** [Ottomans and poufs](https://mille.sa/pages/ottomans-poufs.html) slide out in seconds when the doorbell rings at kickoff. ### Arrange for the screen — without losing the majlis The traditional majlis faces inward; a watch party faces the screen. Do both: keep the seating on the perimeter, angle the long runs toward the television, and leave the centre open for the coffee service. At half-time, the room turns back into a majlis all by itself. "Ninety minutes is a match. A month of matches is a hosting season — and the majlis is where Saudi Arabia will watch this World Cup." ### Comfort that outlasts extra time A football night is two hours at minimum; with extra time, penalties and the post-match debate it is four. Deep seats and proper back support matter more on these nights than on any other — they are the difference between guests who drift home at half-time and a majlis that is still full for the trophy lift. Mille seating is made to measure, so the depth, the firmness and the configuration fit your room and your crowd, not a showroom average. ### Fabrics that survive a tournament A month of gahwa, karak, dates and late-night snacks is a stress test for any sofa. Performance weaves and easy-clean velvets — we carry [260+ Italian and Belgian fabrics](https://mille.sa/pages/fabrics.html) — shrug off the accidents that a 3:00 AM goal celebration guarantees. ## Plan the majlis before matchday If the majlis needs reinforcements, come and plan it with us — our Riyadh showroom is open **daily 10 AM–10 PM, and Friday 4 PM–midnight**.
