Argentina and Spain closed out the FIP Senior World Cup 2026 in Buenos Aires with a title apiece. Argentina's men held off Spain 3-2 in a decider that came down to the final tie, defending the title they won two years ago in La Nucía. Spain's women made it four titles in four editions, beating the United States 3-0 — a result that also marked the first-ever final appearance for the American team
The men's tie went the distance across five age categories, with Argentina closing it out through Miguel Lamperti and Cristian Gutiérrez's win in the +45 bracket. Spain's women were more clinical, sweeping their categories in straight sets. With the result, Spain remain unbeaten across every edition of the tournament since it began, while Argentina added a second world title on home soil in Buenos Aires
