The 2026 FIFA World Cup has not yet taken place. The tournament is scheduled to be held in June and July 2026, co-hosted by 16 cities in three North American countries: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Therefore, any reports of Spain triumphing in the World Cup 2026 are premature and not factual at this time.
