Spain's national team inscribed its name in letters of gold in the record of World Cup champions throughout history, after being crowned in the 2026 edition by defeating Argentina in the final match.
Spain's national team triumphed over its rival Argentina by a goal to nil in the 2026 World Cup final, which was held at New Jersey Stadium in New York, United States of America.
Spain's crowning goal in the tournament came in the 106th minute during the second extra-time period, after a wonderful cross from Pedro Porro that reached Nico Williams, who headed it to Ferran Torres, who shot it powerfully with his left foot into the net.
Spain's national team now has two World Cup titles to its credit, after winning the 2010 edition held in South Africa and repeating the same achievement in the 2026 edition at Argentina's expense.
