Questions & Answers about Hoy vamos al estadio para ver el campeonato femenino.

Why is vamos used here instead of a future form like iremos?

In Spanish, the present tense is very often used for planned or scheduled future actions, especially when there is a clear time word like hoy.

So Hoy vamos al estadio means:

• Today we’re going to the stadium
• or more literally, Today we go to the stadium

This is completely natural in Spanish. You could also say Hoy iremos al estadio or Hoy vamos a ir al estadio, but vamos sounds very normal and everyday.

Why isn’t nosotros included?

Spanish often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.

• vamos = we go / we are going

So nosotros is not necessary.
You could say Hoy nosotros vamos al estadio, but it would usually only be added for emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

For example:

• Ellos se quedan, pero nosotros vamos al estadio.

Why is it al estadio and not a el estadio?
