The festivities are scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time, with supporters able to attend free of charge until the venue reaches capacity.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Spain end 16-year wait for World Cup glory<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Spain secured their second FIFA World Cup title by defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final at New York New Jersey Stadium, claiming their first world crown since 2010.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Substitute Ferran Torres proved to be the match-winner, scoring in the 106th minute after connecting with a loose ball inside the penalty area following a cross from Pedro Porro and an assist from Nico Williams. La Roja dominated the contest throughout, enjoying 68% possession while firing 20 shots, including 11 on target, compared to Argentina&#8217;s four attempts. Lionel Scaloni&#8217;s side struggled to create meaningful opportunities and did not register a shot on target until the closing stages of extra time.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Goalkeeper Emiliano Mart\u00ednez kept Argentina in the contest with a remarkable 11 saves, the most ever recorded in a FIFA World Cup final, but even his heroics were not enough to deny Spain. Argentina&#8217;s task became even more difficult when Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez was sent off early in extra time after receiving a second yellow card. Despite a late opportunity falling to Giuliano Simeone, the defending champions were unable to force penalties as Spain sealed a memorable victory.<!-- --> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/spain-return-to-madrid-with-fifa-world-cup-trophy-announce-grand-fan-celebration-after-argentina-win\/articleshow\/132518326.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain return to Madrid (Image: @SEFutbol\/X) Fresh off their FIFA World Cup 2026 triumph, Spain&#8217;s national football team has returned home to a hero&#8217;s welcome, with celebrations set to take over the streets of Madrid.
