Spain's prime minister confirmed on Friday that he will travel to New York's MetLife Stadium to watch the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, according to sources in Moncloa.
Sánchez will take a seat in the VIP box alongside the King and Queen, after his attendance had been in doubt in recent days because of other engagements scheduled for the start of next week.
The prime minister will not be travelling with his wife, Begoña Gómez, those same sources said. Staff at Moncloa had been working on the trip since the previous Thursday, with the added complication that on Monday he is due to make an official visit to Algiers, his first trip to the North African country since 2020.
