Spain will face Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final on 19 July, with La Roja just 90 minutes away from their first global title since 2010.
Spain’s Tournament So Far
Unbeaten in seven matches (six wins, one draw), Spain have scored 13 goals and conceded just once.
The European champions topped their group convincingly with seven points from two wins and one draw.
They then advanced through the knockouts with resilient performances, beating Austria, Portugal, and Belgium before a strong 2-0 semi-final victory over France.
Team News
Spain head into the final with a largely healthy squad. Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino have fully recovered from earlier groin and shoulder issues. Victor Muñoz was the only minor doubt but was fit enough for the bench against France.
In the semi-final, Lamine Yamal was seen limping late on but the medical team confirmed there’s nothing serious. Pedro Porro (who scored the second goal) picked up a muscle strain and was substituted—he is being closely monitored but the team remains optimistic about his availability for Sunday.
Key Players to Watch
Lamine Yamal — The 18-year-old superstar endured a slow start to the tournament but has hit form at the perfect time. He won the foul that led to the penalty which opened the scoring against France.
Mikel Oyarzabal — Spain’s top scorer scored the opening goal against France, taking his tally to five goals in the tournament. With his intelligent movement and clinical finishing, he will pose a major threat to Argentina.
Quotes
"It’s a dream come true. I’ve always dreamed about being at a World Cup and winning it with Spain. We’re in the final now — we’re going to give everything on Sunday. This team is special," Spain star Lamine Yamal said ahead of the final.
"This is number one. It's the most important match I'm going to play... Of course we believe we can become champions. It won't be easy, but we all see ourselves as champions, just like the team did in 2010. Why not?"
