About This Match
Spain face Argentina in the Final on Sunday, July 19, 2026. Spain are ranked #2 in the world and managed by Luis de la Fuente; Argentina sit at #1 under Lionel Scaloni. The match kicks off at 15:00 local time at MetLife Stadium in New York / New Jersey.
Spain
Spain enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Euro 2024 champions and one of the most exciting teams in the world, spearheaded by teenage sensation Lamine Yamal - possibly the most gifted player to emerge since Messi. Under Luis de la Fuente, La Roja play adventurous, possession-based football that has enthralled world football, with Pedri and the returning Rodri controlling midfield with elegance and authority. Group H alongside Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and debutants Cape Verde should be navigated comfortably, with Spain's sights firmly set on a deep knockout run. Winning the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Spain know what it takes - and this new generation looks ready to add a second star.
Read Spain preview →Argentina
Argentina arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as defending champions, looking to emulate Brazil's 1958-62 back-to-back victories. Lionel Messi, who finally completed his World Cup fairy-tale at Qatar 2022, will be 38 years old and playing in what is almost certainly his last World Cup - a once-in-a-generation farewell that will captivate the footballing world. Under the exceptionally tactically intelligent Lionel Scaloni, La Albiceleste blend Messi's genius with the predatory instincts of Inter Milan's Lautaro Martínez and the emergence of Julián Álvarez. Group J against Austria, Algeria, and Jordan is a very favourable draw for the world champions, who will rightly be installed as one of the two or three leading title contenders.
