Spain beats defending champion Argentina 1-0 to win the 2026 World Cup
Spanish national squad wins global tournament for a second time, with Argentine soccer legend Messi leaving the field in tears as he likely plays his last ever World Cup game
Spain defeated defending champion Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 World Cup final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, securing their second World Cup title. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute, denying Lionel Messi a second consecutive title in what he indicated was his final World Cup match. Spain's defense was exceptional throughout the tournament, allowing only one goal in eight matches, a new record for a champion. Coach Luis de la Fuente, at 65, became the oldest coach to win a World Cup. This victory makes Spain the first nation to simultaneously hold both the men's and women's World Cup titles.
