What is at stake for Spain and Argentina?

It is Spain vs. Argentina for the right to be crowned winners of the 2026 World Cup.

Spain are chasing a second World Cup crown following their success in 2010, while Argentina are looking to win the trophy for the fourth time, which would draw them level with both Italy and Germany in terms of World Cup wins.

Argentina are the reigning champions, so it could be back-to-back World Cups for the South American nation, who came from behind to beat England 2-1 in the competition's second semi-final.

Spain, meanwhile, produced one of the performances of the tournament to record a 2-0 victory over France in the first semi-final.

La Roja have arguably been the best 'team' at this summer's World Cup, but Argentina have continued to find ways to win matches despite not being at their best.

The stakes could not be higher on Sunday.
