The 2026 FIFA World Cup concludes on July 19 with a final between Argentina and Spain at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York City. The match features two contrasting football styles: Argentina's passionate, attack-minded play led by Lionel Messi, and Spain's possession-based tiki-taka approach.
Argentina, the defending champions from 2022, seek their fourth World Cup title. Spain, winners in 2010, aim for their second. The tournament has been notable for its expanded format with 48 teams and matches across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the final, according to multiple reports. The game kicks off at 3 p.m. Eastern Time, with a halftime show featuring global music stars.
