Tennis icons Serena Williams, Coco Gauff, Rafael Nadal, and Carlos Alcaraz were all supporting Spain in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Final match against Argentina at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The Spanish team won the World Cup with a dramatic 1-0 extra-time victory, thanks to Ferran Torres’ 106th-minute winner.
Rafael Nadal’s Exciting Reaction After Final Whistle
Former Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal seems to have arranged a house party, with friends and family, to watch his national team go against Argentina in the final.
As soon as the final whistle was blown, the whole group erupted in celebration. They hugged each other with warm embraces to celebrate Spain’s second victory in the men’s FIFA World Cup Final.
Carlos Alcaraz Unveiled FIFA WC Trophy
Unlike fellow countryman Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz attended the high-profile game in person. Before kickoff, he participated in the trophy presentation ceremony, carrying the Louis Vuitton trophy trunk alongside actress Hoyeon.
Like a true soccer fan, Alcaraz had his hands up and was full of expressions to celebrate this achievement of the Spanish football team.
Photos of a warm embrace between Alcaraz and Spanish football sensation Lamine Yamal also started doing the rounds on the internet.
In another angle from the post-match celebration, Alcaraz can be seen jumping with his fellow friends to celebrate Spain’s iconic victory.
Serena Williams and Coco Gauff Watched the FIFA Final
On Sunday, Serena Williams shared an Instagram story, capturing the scenes on the field from her elevated seat at the stadium. It was during the middle of the game when the players were fighting for possession in midfield.
Williams attended the final in the company of her husband and Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian and her friend, La La Anthony (NBA legend Carmelo Anthony’s ex-wife).
Meanwhile, unlike her role model, Coco Gauff watched the final at a special screening with her friends and family. She posted a video from the celebrations out there, as almost everyone was cheering Spain’s victory. Gauff had a bottle, likely beer, in her hand, as she bounced like others in celebration. She also posted three Spanish national flags in her story to highlight her support for the team.
Just like these tennis stars, millions around the globe engaged in exciting celebrations after Spain defeated the defending champions.
