Spain have been crowned champions of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeating defending champions Argentina 1-0 in extra time in Sunday's final.

Substitute Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal to secure La Roja's second World Cup title, 16 years after their maiden triumph in South Africa in 2010.

Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez kept his side in the contest with a string of superb saves, but Enzo Fernández's late red card left the South Americans with 10 men.

Spain capitalized on the numerical advantage in extra time, with Nico Williams setting up Torres for the winning goal that sealed the historic victory.
