Spain's national team was crowned champion of the 2026 World Cup, confirming they are the kings of finals in the 21st century, and continuing to write one of the greatest eras in football history.

Since ascending to Europe's throne at Euro 2008, Spain has not stopped making glory, following the continental title with the 2010 World Cup, then returning to European triumph at Euro 2012, before regaining the continent's crown again at Euro 2024, and completing global dominance by winning the 2026 World Cup.

Five major finals, five titles, and not a single defeat in the final, confirming that 'La Roja', when they reach the last match, do not settle for competing, but are crowned champions.

Spain also repeated a historic achievement for the second time, having succeeded in converting a European Championship title into a World Cup triumph, first between Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, and now between Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup.
