Spain secures their second star and makes history as world champions in both the men's and women's categories
The Spanish men's national team has been crowned world champions for the second time in their history, after winning the Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026 and adding a new star to the one achieved in South Africa in 2010. A triumph that once again places Spanish football at the pinnacle of the international stage and as leaders of the FIFA Ranking for both men and women.

This new success makes Spain the first and only country to simultaneously hold the titles of absolute world champion in both men's and women's categories, after the women's national team achieved glory in Australia and New Zealand in 2023. An unprecedented milestone that reaffirms the strength, talent, and competitiveness of Spanish football.
From Liga F, we wish to extend our most sincere congratulations to all the players, the coaching staff, and the group of professionals who are part of the expedition, as well as to the Real Federación Española de Fútbol and all Spanish fans, whose support has accompanied the national team throughout the championship.
The men's national team's second star and the star won by the women's national team represent the shared success of all Spanish football. Two generations of world champions who serve as a benchmark for thousands of boys and girls and demonstrate that Spain has a sporting model capable of competing and succeeding at the highest level.
This historic achievement transcends the sporting result and internationally projects the image of a leading country in world football. From Liga F, we celebrate a victory that belongs to all Spanish sport and reinforces the collective commitment to continue driving its growth and building new successes.
Congratulations, champions! Spain is once again at the top of the world.
