Pedro Sánchez has said he felt a "political orgasm" at the thought of Spain winning the World Cup in the United States and Trump handing him the trophy, according to Europa Press. He expressed optimism about a new Spanish victory, while noting that the decision on the venue for the 2030 World Cup final rests with FIFA.

The Spanish prime minister avoided the controversy surrounding the 2030 final, as reported by El Español, despite Spain being set to host the tournament alongside Portugal and Morocco. He deferred the choice of host city to the international body, without responding to a proposal made by Feijóo the previous week.
