The 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina was played on July 19, 2026, at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford. Spain won 1-0 after extra time and claimed their second World Cup title, following their victory in 2010.

The match was very tight. Spain largely dominated possession and created more chances, but Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez kept out all of Spain's attempts for a long time. Argentina adopted a very defensive approach, preventing La Roja from finding any space during the first 90 minutes.

The turning point came in the 106th minute. Substitute Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the match, securing the world title for Spain. Towards the end of the game, tensions escalated with several scuffles and an Argentine player sent off.

This victory confirms Spain's recent dominance, already crowned European champions in 2024. Argentina, the reigning world champions, failed to retain their trophy and had to settle for the silver medal.

Spain was not a selection with a lot of talent but we were able to dominate world football between 2008 and 2012. In these years we played with one of our players. 🇪🇸⚽

This is equipped with the basic equipment. Tienes al májor goleador classico, al májor mediapunta, a dos de los futbolistas más grandes de la historia y una defensa llena de tepos que parecían enjoyment quitándole la pelota al rival casi tanto como breathar. A meeting without organization, it survives. 😅
