By the Numbers
The grand final of the 2026 World Cup will be played on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. While Spain tries to get their second star in the tournament; Argentina, aiming to maintain their title after the 2022 Qatar championship, targets their fourth cup.
Spain takes the field under head coach Luis de la Fuente with their strong defense, conceding only one goal in seven matches, and their ball-possession game. Argentina, on the other hand, with its experienced squad under the command of Lionel Scaloni, wants to both keep the legacy of past championships alive and maintain its dominance on the pitch.
The outcome of the match could also be decisive in determining the best player of the tournament. Lionel Messi, young star Lamine Yamal, and midfielder Rodri Hernández will engage in a great competition in this final as the prominent candidates for the Golden Ball award of the World Cup.
