Spain were crowned champions of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after edging defending champions Argentina 1-0 following extra time in a thrilling final played on Sunday.
After a fiercely contested encounter ended goalless in regulation time, substitute Ferran Torres emerged as the match-winner, scoring the decisive goal in the second period of extra time to seal victory for La Roja.
The triumph marks Spain’s second FIFA World Cup title, coming 16 years after their historic maiden success at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
Argentina, who entered the final as defending champions, pushed hard to retain their crown but were unable to find a breakthrough against a disciplined Spanish side that remained resolute throughout the contest.
Ferran Torres’ late strike proved enough to separate the two teams, sparking jubilant celebrations as Spain lifted the famous trophy once again and reaffirmed their place among world football’s elite.
