Spain celebrates World Cup glory

The men's victory, combined with the Women’s World Cup won by Spain in 2023, makes the European nation the first to hold both titles simultaneously.

Spain's World Cup-winning soccer team returned home on Monday, where the 26-man squad were greeted by the country's royals before meeting with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Celebrations were dampened, however, after local authorities reported that a 13-year-old in Salamanca, northwest of Madrid, had died after a fountain he had climbed onto with friends to mark the victory had collapsed.
