Spain have etched their name into football history after becoming the first nation to simultaneously hold the FIFA Men’s World Cup and FIFA Women’s World Cup titles.
The historic feat was confirmed after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in New York, adding the men’s crown to the women’s title they won in 2023.
The achievement has been widely celebrated across the football world as another milestone in Spain’s recent dominance on the international stage.
FIFA acknowledged the landmark accomplishment in a post on its official X account, describing Spain as history-makers for becoming the first country to reign as champions in both competitions at the same time.
Spain complete unprecedented World Cup double
Spain’s latest triumph marks their second FIFA Men’s World Cup title, having previously lifted the trophy in South Africa in 2010.
The women’s national team secured their maiden World Cup title in 2023 after defeating England 1-0 in the final, with Olga Carmona scoring the decisive goal.
By winning the 2026 men’s tournament while retaining the women’s title, Spain became the first nation to achieve the unique double since the two FIFA World Cup competitions were established.
Football world celebrates historic achievement
Spain’s success further underlines the country’s remarkable rise in international football. Alongside both World Cup trophies, the men’s team also won the UEFA European Championship in 2024, while the women’s side has remained among the world’s elite since its historic triumph in Australia and New Zealand.
Football fans and analysts have hailed the achievement as one of the greatest milestones in the sport’s history, praising Spain’s sustained excellence across both the men’s and women’s games.
