Spain have emerged champions of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a hard-fought 1–0 victory over defending champions Argentina in Sunday’s final.
A decisive extra-time goal from Ferran Torres secured the win for La Roja, as they held off a determined Argentine side led by Lionel Messi to claim their second World Cup title.
The victory marks Spain’s second World Cup triumph since their historic maiden win at the 2010 tournament in South Africa, reaffirming their place among football’s elite on the global stage.
The final was a tightly contested encounter, with both teams creating chances but struggling to break the deadlock during regulation time.
Spain, however, found the breakthrough in extra time, with Torres capitalising on a crucial opportunity to put his side ahead.
Argentina pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages but were unable to penetrate Spain’s resolute defence, as the European champions held firm to secure the title.
