Here is a comprehensive summary of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final:

On July 19, 2026, Spain defeated defending champions Argentina 1–0 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to claim their second World Cup title, their first since 2010. Spain dominated possession and created numerous chances, while Argentina failed to register a single shot in regulation—a first in World Cup final history—and were reduced to ten men after Enzo Fernández was sent off. The match remained goalless until extra time, when Ferran Torres headed in a cross from Nico Williams to secure the victory, despite a record-breaking 11 saves from Argentina's goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and a subsequent post-match brawl between the squads. With this win, Spain became the first country to simultaneously hold both the men's and women's World Cup titles, having triumphed in the 2023 Women's World Cup. The final was also historically notable as the first to feature a halftime show, which extended the break to over 27 minutes, violating standard IFAB protocol.
