Spain football World Cup activities

Overview

On 28 July 2026 Spain secured its second FIFA World Cup title, defeating Argentina 1‑0 after extra time in the final held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Ferran Torres scored the winning goal, and the triumph concluded the tournament with Spain unbeaten.

The following day, Spain announced a bid to host the inaugural Football 7 World Cup, targeting a 2029 or 2031 edition. The proposal, to be presented at the SportCities Expo & Summit in Valladolid, emphasises the sport’s accessibility, sustainability and low‑cost infrastructure, with support from Football 7 WorldWide officials. If approved, Spain would become the first nation to host a Football 7 World Cup, expanding its role in global football beyond the traditional 11‑a‑side format.

The same 2026 World Cup coverage also noted Germany’s interest in future senior World Cup hosting, contemplating bids for the 2038 or 2042 tournaments, underscoring a broader European focus on upcoming football events.
