Spain wins 2026 World Cup and eyes Argentina rematch in Qatar

Spain's national team secured the 2026 FIFA World Cup title after a 1‑0 extra‑time victory, with Ferran Torres scoring in the 106th minute. The tournament was staged across venues in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Following the triumph, discussions are underway to arrange a "Finalissima" between Spain and Argentina, the 2026 World Cup finalists. Qatar, which retained organizational rights, is being considered as the venue for a November match, despite earlier cancellations caused by security concerns in the Middle East. Both federations hope to schedule the encounter as early as mid‑November, pending final approval.

The planned showdown would offer the two champions a chance for redemption and could affect upcoming international fixtures for both sides, including Spain's Nations League matches later in the month.
