From Beyoncé to Matt Damon: the celebrities who witnessed Spain's victory in the World Cup final

The 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina turned the MetLife Stadium into a true celebrity parade. Beyond the historic triumph of the Spanish national team, the match brought together some of the most well-known figures on the international scene, with representatives from cinema, music, sports, social media, and politics sharing the spotlight in the stands. Some of them were confirmed and played a prominent role in the event, such as Tom Cruise, Robbie Williams, Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, Speed or Jennifer Hudson, who performed the United States anthem before the match, in addition to the artists who starred in the historic half-time show of the final.

Among the most notable unexpected attendees were Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, who also participated in the pre-match ceremony presenting the official ball, as well as Dua Lipa with Callum Turner.

Also in attendance were Matt Damon, Pharrell Williams, Javier Bardem, Anya Taylor Joy, who witnessed Ferran's goal alongside Shakira, Julia Garner, Kevin Hart, Terry Crews, Winnie Harlow and Noel Gallagher, among others.

The sports representation was also extensive. Tennis player Carlos Alcaraz followed Spain's second World Cup star live, accompanied by other international figures such as Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Odell Beckham Jr., James Harden, Draymond Green, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, Lindsey Vonn, as well as David Beckham alongside Victoria Beckham and family. But the most striking thing was to see some players from the Spanish national team who made us win the first star in 2010, who lived the match with great enthusiasm and nervousness: Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Carles Puyol, Jesús Navas and David Villa. Among the content creators, MrBeast and IShowSpeed stood out, the latter with participation in the pre-ceremony.

The institutional box was headed by the Spanish representation, with King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, accompanied by Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, as well as the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, who followed live the national team's conquest of its second World Cup. Alongside them was also the FIFA president, Gianni Infantino. Among the international leaders present were the President of the United States, Donald Trump, accompanied by Melania Trump; the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, and the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, in a box that brought together some of the main political authorities in a final that transcended the sporting sphere to become a major global event.
