Spain wins 2026 World Cup after defeating Argentina

Spain has been crowned world champions following a 1-0 victory over Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final. The tournament, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, concluded after a series of notable performances.

Spain’s path to the title included a challenging start with a 0-0 draw against Cape Verde, where 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha delivered a standout performance. Following that opening match, Spain secured victories against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay to advance.

Cape Verde emerged as a significant story of the tournament, progressing to the knockout stage with three points despite expectations. The United States, serving as a host nation, began the tournament with a 4-1 win over Paraguay and a victory against Australia before losing their final group match to Turkey.
