President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday extended congratulations to Spain's national football team for capturing the 2026 FIFA World Cup, praising their triumph in a message posted on the Türkiye-based social media platform NSosyal as Madrid celebrated its second championship. The Turkish leader offered heartfelt praise for the Spanish side, which defeated defending champions Argentina 1-0 in Sunday's final at New York New Jersey Stadium. "I wholeheartedly congratulate the Spanish National Team on winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and I extend my greetings and warm regards, on behalf of my country and my nation, to the friendly people of Spain," Erdogan said, marking the occasion with a personal message to the victorious squad.
Extra-time triumph
Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in extra time to seal Spain's second World Cup crown, replicating the feat achieved by Andres Iniesta in 2010. The victory ended Argentina's reign and crowned Spain champions on American soil sixteen years after their maiden triumph in South Africa. La Roja's latest success came before a capacity crowd at the New Jersey venue, cementing their status among the tournament's elite nations.
