The head of the Spanish Executive, who will attend the final against Argentina in New York, pointed out that the national team reflects a way of understanding sport based on solidarity, technique, precision, and respect for rivals.
Sánchez highlighted that the 26 called-up players are heirs to the philosophy that led Spain to achieve its great international successes 16 years ago, betting on an associative and courageous style of play.
Likewise, he stated that the national team symbolizes a nation that “does not set limits for itself because it believes in itself” and that it reaches the final with the confidence of having played an outstanding tournament.
Spain will play the 2026 World Cup final this Sunday against Argentina with the opportunity to win its second World Cup title, in a duel that will pit two of the most outstanding teams of the championship against each other.
