Spain just punched its ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup final with a convincing 2-0 win over France on July 14. And while most of the world was focused on the football, a small but growing corner of the crypto market was watching something else entirely: the $SPAIN fan token.
What happened on the pitch
Spain controlled the match from start to finish. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute, and Pedro Porro added a second to put the result beyond doubt.
France, for all their talent, never generated clear scoring opportunities. Late-game pressure amounted to little more than frustration.
The victory, played out in Arlington, Texas, sends Spain to the World Cup final for the first time since 2010, when they lifted the trophy in South Africa. That’s a 16-year gap between final appearances.
