Spain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina on July 19, 2026, with a 1-0 victory. The match, held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, saw Spain score in the 105th minute after a goalless 90 minutes. Argentina had zero shots on target, while Spain had 20 attempts.
The halftime break lasted 27 minutes, exceeding the standard 15 minutes. FIFA had previously promised to keep halftime to 15 minutes, but the extended break was due to a performance by Latin music stars, including Shakira and others, as part of the halftime show.
Zinedine Zidane was present in the stands, watching the match. The French legend was seen on camera during the broadcast, but he had no official role in the event.
Spain's victory was their second World Cup title, following their 2010 win. The match was decided by a goal from a Spanish player, though the exact scorer was not confirmed in initial reports.
