FIFA World Cup All Winners (1930-2026)

The 2026 FIFA World Cup was a landmark tournament, jointly hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada — the first time three nations staged the event. With the expanded format of 48 teams, fans saw debut appearances from Cape Verde, Curaçao, Jordan, and Uzbekistan. Across 16 host cities, a record 6.81 million fans attended matches, making it the biggest World Cup ever. On the pitch, Spain claimed their second world title, beating Argentina 1–0 in extra time at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute, while Spain’s defense stood out — conceding just one goal all tournament. Rodri won the Golden Ball, Unai Simón took the Golden Glove, and Pau Cubarsí was named Best Young Player. Individual brilliance added to the spectacle. Kylian Mbappé finished as top scorer with 10 goals, earning his second consecutive Golden Boot. Lionel Messi, at 39, led Argentina to their seventh final but fell short of defending their 2022 crown. Spain’s triumph, Mbappé’s scoring heroics, and the rise of debut nations combined to make the 2026 edition one of the most memorable in football history.
