Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final at the New Jersey Stadium on Sunday to become World champion for the second time.
La Furia Roja is now the first team to win Euro and World Cup back-to-back on two different occasions. It had managed the feat for the first time when it won the 2008 Euro and the 2010 World Cup.
The only other countries to do this are West Germany (Euro 1972 & 1974 World Cup) and France (1998 World Cup & Euro 2000). But only Spain now has the bragging right of doing it twice.
