Spain Euro 2024 & World Cup 2026 Double: Rare Continental–World Holders
Updated 20 July 2026 — Spain hold Euro and World Cup titles at the same time.
Spain won Euro 2024 and then the 2026 FIFA World Cup, becoming one of the rare nations to hold the continental and world titles simultaneously — and one of few to do so more than once historically (alongside Brazil and Argentina in different eras).
| Trophy | Year | Final |
|---|---|---|
| UEFA Euro | 2024 | Spain beat England |
| FIFA World Cup | 2026 | Spain 1–0 Argentina (AET) |
Captain Rodri was central to both campaigns and won the World Cup Golden Ball. See: Rodri Golden Ball.
Why the Double Matters
Winning a European Championship and a World Cup in consecutive major summers signals sustained squad depth — from Yamal and Cubarsí to Rodri, Pedri and Unai Simón. Spain conceded only one goal across the entire 2026 tournament.
