Spain claims its second star and makes history as world champion in both men's and women's categories
The Spanish men's national team have been crowned world champions for the second time in their history, after winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup and adding a new star to the one earned in South Africa in 2010. A victory that once again places Spanish soccer at the top of the international scene and at the top of the FIFA rankings for both men and women.

This latest success makes Spain the first and only country to simultaneously hold both senior men's and women's world titles, following the women's national team reaching the pinnacle in Australia and New Zealand in 2023. An unprecedented milestone that reaffirms the strength, talent, and competitiveness of Spanish football.
From LigaF, we would like to send our most sincere congratulations to all the players, the coaching staff, and the group of professionals who make up the travelling party, as well as to the Royal Spanish Football Federation and all Spanish supporters whose backing has accompanied the national team throughout the tournament.
The men's national team's second star and the star conquered by the women's national team represent the shared success of all Spanish football. Two world-champion generations that serve as an inspiration for thousands of boys and girls, proving that Spain boasts a sporting model capable of competing and winning at the very highest level.
This historic achievement transcends the sporting result and projects internationally the image of a pioneering country in global football. From LigaF, we celebrate a victory that belongs to the entirety of Spanish sport and reinforces our collective commitment to continuing to drive its growth and build new successes.
Congratulations, champions! Spain is back on top of the world.
