Rodri lifts trophy upon landing as world champions Spain touch down in Madrid

Spain beat Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup 2026 in North America. They not only became the world champions with that but also the most successful, highly decorated national team since the start of the millennium. Spain now has two FIFA World Cup titles, as many as France and Uruguay, adding a UEFA Nations League title (2023), an Olympic gold (2024) and the Euros in the same year, winning all three major tournaments since 2022. Not to forget, they won the 2008 Euros, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and again the Euros two years later in 2012. &nbsp;While Spain’s golden generation delivered during that time, the current one is doing it now, slowly etching its way into the history books. Several teams have tasted success since the start of 2000, with Argentina winning several Copa Americas and the World Cup in 2022; however, nothing seems to match Spain's array of milestones in the last 25 years – making them the most formidable force in world football. &nbsp;Not only Spain's men’s team but also its women’s team have been a force for a long time, having won the World Cup in 2023 and the UEFA Nations League in 2024 and 2025. It is the first time in history that a country’s men’s and women’s teams are crowned world champions at the same time. Over the past five years, Spain’s women’s teams across all major divisions have won 11 titles, while the men’s teams have clinched five across categories, including Under-23 and Under-19.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/lionel-messi-neymar-cristiano-ronaldo-5-footballing-icons-who-played-last-world-cup-1784546926165">Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar: 5 footballing icons who played their last World Cup in 2026</a> &nbsp;"It is dominance," Spanish football expert Guillem Balague said in a chat with BBC Sport.
