Spain made football history by being the first country to win both the FIFA Men’s and Women’s World Cups.
The historic achievement was completed when Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in New York, adding the men’s title to the women’s title won in 2023.
The achievement has been highly lauded around the football globe as another milestone in Spain’s recent international supremacy.
FIFA welcomed the historic achievement in a post on its official X account, declaring Spain as the first country to be champions of both competitions at the same time.
Spain’s current success is their second FIFA Men’s World Cup title, having won the trophy in South Africa in 2010.
The women’s national team won its first World Cup title in 2023, defeating England 1-0 in the final, with Olga Carmona scoring the winning goal.
Spain became the first nation to complete the rare double since the two FIFA World Cup competitions were formed, winning the men’s championship while retaining the women’s title in 2026.
Spain’s success emphasises the country’s amazing progress in international football. Along with two World Cup titles, the men’s team won the UEFA European Championship in 2024, while the women’s team has stayed among the world’s best since its historic victory in Australia and New Zealand.
Football fans and observers have lauded the feat as one of the most significant in the sport’s history, applauding Spain’s consistent excellence in both men’s and women’s competitions.
