Spain captured its second FIFA World Cup title by beating Argentina 1‑0 after extra time in the final held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on 19 July 2026. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute, securing the victory for the Spaniards.

Rodri was named the tournament’s best player with the Golden Ball, while Kylian Mbappé became the first player to win the Golden Boot twice, scoring ten goals. Coach Luis de la Fuente praised his squad’s collective spirit, and the win sparked massive celebrations in Spain and among Spanish fans worldwide, including a notable street party in London and a royal congratulation from King Felipe VI.

The match featured a dominant Spanish possession game, a red card for Argentina’s Enzo Fernández late in regular time, and a lone save by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez that kept the game level. The tournament was co‑hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, but the final took place in the United States.
