The all-time world records Spain broke during their incredible 2026 World Cup win

Spain’s 2026 World Cup triumph translated into multiple all-time Guinness World Records, reinforcing the team’s defensive dominance as well as its unbeaten run. After beating Argentina 1-0 in extra time, Spain secured a second World Cup title and a second star on its crest. Guinness says Spain set four tournament records: seven clean sheets, just one goal conceded, the oldest World Cup-winning manager (Luis de la Fuente, 68), and the longest unbeaten run in competitive men’s matches (38). The World Cup format also included an expanded Round of 32, yet Spain still broke the record for fewest goals conceded and most clean sheets. The article adds additional records including Unai Simón’s 650 minutes without conceding and Rodri’s 790 completed passes. It also notes a historic first: Spain holds both men’s and women’s World Cup trophies in the same nation.
