David Beckham sends message to Spain over World Cup success

David Beckham is taking pride in Spain after the team won the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The former England captain shared a message on Instagram after Spain beat defending champions Argentina 1-0 in Sunday's final.

"World champions. Viva España," Beckham wrote. "Congratulations to Spain on the perfect tournament."

Spain were in control throughout the final, stopping Argentina from getting a shot on target.

Beckham attended the final at New York New Jersey Stadium with his wife, Victoria Beckham, and their sons Romeo and Cruz. Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel and Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull were also in attendance.

The Beckhams attended several World Cup matches during the tournament. Their youngest child, Harper, also joined them at some games.

Their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, was again not with the family during the tournament amid reports of a family rift.
