Spain wins 2026 Futsal Finalissima by defeating Brazil 3-0
The Spanish national futsal team secured its first Finalissima title after a 3-0 victory against Brazil in the final held at Arena Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. Following a competitive first half where Brazil maintained high pressure, Spain adjusted its tactics after the break to take control of the match.
Gonzalo Castejón opened the scoring in the 32nd minute following an assist from Antonio Pérez. As Brazil deployed a flying goalkeeper to force an equalizer, Cecilio Morales doubled the lead in the 39th minute by scoring into an empty net. In the final seconds of the match, Antonio Pérez sealed the victory with a long-range goal from his own half.
This victory follows Spain’s European Championship win earlier in 2026. In the third-place playoff, Argentina defeated Portugal 3-1 to claim the bronze medal. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has scheduled an official reception in Las Rozas, Madrid, to honor the players and coaching staff led by Jesús Velasco.
