Spain wins 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup

Overview

Spain has won the 2026 FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Lodz, Poland, securing its second title in this category. Following a scoreless match through regulation and extra time against defending champions North Korea, Spain emerged victorious in a 4-3 penalty shootout.

Spanish goalkeeper Laia Lopez was the decisive figure in the win, saving two penalty kicks from North Korean players Choe Yon-A and Pak Il-Sim. Spain converted all four of its attempts via Marisa García, Celia Segura, Carla Julia, and Daniela Agote. Lopez’s performance earned her the Golden Glove award. Notably, North Korean goalkeeper Pak Ju-gyong helped her team complete the tournament without conceding a single goal during regulation time, a historic feat despite the loss in the final.

Individual accolades for the tournament included Rosaria Dominguez as tournament MVP and Pau Comendador, who finished as the top scorer with six goals, earning the Golden Boot and the Bronze Ball. This victory, achieved under the leadership of coach David Aznar, provides redemption for the Spanish squad following their previous penalty shootout loss to North Korea in the 2024 U-17 final. This win reinforces a period of success for Spanish women’s football, marking their second U-20 championship following their win in 2022.
