Spain were crowned 2026 FIFA World Cup champions for the second time in their history after defeating Argentina 1–0 following extra time in the final at New York New Jersey Stadium.

The match remained goalless throughout regulation time before Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute, converting a headed assist from Nico Williams to lead La Roja to their second world title.

Spain’s first World Cup triumph came at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.

The Spanish national team delivered an impressive campaign, defeating Belgium in the quarter-finals and France in the semi-finals before overcoming Argentina in the final.

The achievement marks Spain’s return to the summit of world football, 16 years after winning its first title.
