Spain crowned world champions after edging Argentina 1-0 in World Cup final
Spain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time to claim its second world title. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute.
The victory capped a remarkable tournament for Spain, which conceded just one goal throughout the competition—the fewest ever by a World Cup-winning team.
The final also likely marked the last World Cup appearance of Lionel Messi, who left the pitch in tears after Argentina's defeat, though he has not officially announced his international retirement.
