The Spanish national team strengthened its position among the world's top teams after winning the 2026 World Cup by defeating Argentina in the final, securing its second title in history after its first triumph in the 2010 edition.

With this achievement, Spain raised its tally to two world titles, thus equaling France and Uruguay in the World Cup champions record, while Argentina remained in fourth place with three titles after failing to defend its crown.

Brazil still sits atop the list of most World Cup titles with five, followed by Italy and Germany with four each, then Argentina with three, while Spain, France, and Uruguay are tied with two titles each, and England remains with a single world title.

The Spanish triumph represents a return to the global podium and confirms the success of 'La Roja' project in bringing the team back to the top of international football after a 16-year absence from the World Cup title.
