With the 2026 FIFA World Cup now over, FIFA has described the tournament as one of the biggest and most successful editions in the competition's history.
The expanded 48-team tournament attracted a record 6.8 million fans across stadiums in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, making it the highest-attended FIFA World Cup ever. A total of 308 goals were scored, another tournament record.
Spain's victory over Argentina also created history beyond the trophy. The country became the first nation to hold both the men's and women's FIFA World Cup titles at the same time, adding another remarkable achievement to Spanish football.
The tournament also introduced several new features, including the first-ever World Cup final halftime show and championship rings for the winners. These additions sparked conversations among fans while giving the competition a different feel from previous editions.
As attention gradually shifts toward the next international competitions, the 2026 World Cup will be remembered for its record crowds, expanded format, memorable performances, and historic moments that shaped football's biggest tournament.
