1xBet congratulates Spain on their triumph

22 July 2026
(PRESS RELEASE) -- The American football forum, which had kept millions of fans around the world in suspense for several weeks, ended in triumph for Spain. In the final, Luis de la Fuente’s team beat Argentina 1-0 and rose to the top of world football again, winning their second global title in their history.

Even before the opening whistle, New York New Jersey Stadium was awash with the noise from the stands. Supporters of both sides filled the arena with their team colors, and the tension was evident long before the match began. From the very first minutes, Spain took control of the ball, but Argentina set up a solid defense and left almost no space in front of their goal. Neither side was in any hurry to take risks – the cost of a mistake was too high – so the score remained 0-0 at half-time.

During the break, the tension of the football match gave way to the first halftime show in the history of the global forum finals. Madonna, Shakira, Justin Bieber, and BTS took to the stage, greeted by thunderous applause from the stands. The performance was one of the highlights of the evening and further fired up the atmosphere ahead of the second half.

After the break, Spain gained momentum and began to threaten their opponents’ goal with increasing frequency. Argentina held out against the pressure for a long time, but were reduced to ten men in stoppage time following a second yellow card. The game ended goalless after regular time, with 30 minutes of extra time still to play, and the title could be decided by a single moment.

It happened in the 106th minute, when Spain finally found a way through to the opposition goal and took the lead. Argentina threw everything they had at saving the match, but La Roja withstood La Albiceleste’s onslaught and repeated their 2010 success, becoming world champions while already being the strongest team in Europe.

Spain finished the World Championship in much the same way as they had played for almost the entire tournament – with composure, confidence, and no unnecessary mistakes. After a draw against Cape Verde in their opening match, Luis de la Fuente’s men won seven games in a row, beating Austria, Portugal, Belgium, and France in the knockout stage and conceding just one goal in eight matches.

La Roja’s victory in the final marked the last chapter of the biggest global forum in history, with teams from 48 countries playing 104 games and stadiums attracting over 6.8 million spectators. Several action-packed weeks treated fans and 1xBet users to unexpected results, tense knockout stage battles, and a final that was decided in extra time.

The high level of interest in the tournament opened up new opportunities for the media and affiliates. 1xPartners makes it much easier to engage with sports audiences through up-to-date promo materials, support from personal managers, and flexible partnership models such as RevShare, CPA, and Hybrid.

On that decisive evening, Spain brought their almost flawless campaign to a close and, 16 years on, returned to the top of world football. The victory over Argentina was the highlight of the tournament, in which Luis de la Fuente’s side remained true to their style from the very first match right to the final whistle.
