Breaking: Spain Crowned Champions of the 2026 FIFA World Cup

Spain have won the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final.

The decisive moment came in the 106th minute of extra time when Ferran Torres scored the winning goal, handing Spain their first World Cup title since 2010 and denying Argentina a successful defence of the trophy they won in 2022.

Argentina’s hopes suffered a major setback late in regulation time when midfielder Enzo Fernández was shown a red card, forcing the South Americans to play extra time with 10 men.

Despite a determined effort from Lionel Messi and his teammates, Argentina were unable to find an equaliser as Spain held on to secure victory and lift the prestigious trophy.

The triumph marks a memorable achievement for Spain, whose young stars, including Lamine Yamal, played key roles throughout the tournament.
