Spain were crowned FIFA World Cup 2026 champions after defeating defending champions Argentina 1-0 in extra time, with Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal in the 106th minute at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Spain dominated possession and created numerous chances throughout the final, but Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez produced a record 11 saves to keep his side in the contest. However, Torres finally broke the deadlock after connecting with a header from Nico Williams, sparking celebrations as Spain lifted their first World Cup since 2010.
Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, struggled throughout the match, managing only two shots, neither of them on target. Messi, playing what is expected to be his final World Cup match, was largely kept quiet by Spain's disciplined defence.
Argentina's hopes suffered another blow in stoppage time when Enzo Fernández was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
The victory extends Spain's unbeaten run to 38 matches and adds the 2026 FIFA World Cup title to their recent UEFA European Championship triumph, confirming their status as one of world football's dominant teams.
