A review of how many times the Spain and Argentina national teams have reached the FIFA World Cup final and how many championships they have won.
On 17 July 2026, we look back at the performances of the 'La Roja' Spain national football team, led by Luis de la Fuente, and the 'Albiceleste' Argentina national football team, the defending World Cup champions from 2022, examining how many times each has reached the final and how many titles they have secured.
Starting with 'La Roja,' the Spain national football team has reached the World Cup final once before, in 2010, and immediately claimed the championship. Their upcoming final appearance marks only the second in their history, where they aim to set a record of winning two titles from two final appearances.
Meanwhile, the 'Albiceleste,' Argentina's national team, has reached the World Cup final six times previously—in 1930, 1978, 1986, 1990, 2014, and 2022—and most recently for the seventh time in 2026. They have won the title three times: in 1978, 1986, and 2022.
