๐ช๐ธ Spain are looking to become the first team in history to win the FIFA World Cup twice as reigning UEFA European champions.
Only two countries have won the FIFA World Cup while entering the tournament as the reigning UEFA European Champions:
1๏ธโฃ West Germany ๐ฉ๐ช โ 1974 FIFA World Cup
Won UEFA Euro 1972
Won the 1974 World Cup on home soil.
2๏ธโฃ Spain ๐ช๐ธ โ 2010 FIFA World Cup

Won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

โฝ After winning UEFA Euro 2024, ๐ช๐ธ Spain will enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the reigning European champions and have the chance to become the first nation ever to achieve this feat twice.
France ๐ซ๐ท came close to joining this list. After winning the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000, they held both major titles simultaneously, but their World Cup triumph came before their European Championship victory, so they did not win the World Cup as reigning European champions.
