Updated July 20, 2026 — Spain has won the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating defending champion Argentina 1–0 after extra time at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford.

Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute. Pedro Porro delivered the cross, Nico Williams headed the ball back across goal, and Torres finished first time. FIFA’s match report says Spain controlled long stretches of the final but was repeatedly denied by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez before the breakthrough.

The victory gives Spain its second men’s World Cup title, following its 2010 championship. Argentina’s late push did not produce an equalizer, ending its bid to retain the trophy it won in 2022.

The result is confirmed by FIFA’s official match report and independently reported by The Associated Press. This article updates our semifinal preview with the final score and championship outcome.
