Congratulating the people and the government of Spain and wishing them more success, Ghalibaf said their team's victory and championship not only made the hearts of Spaniards happy, but also the hearts of many free and independent and justice-loving nations of the world.
The top parliamentarian also expressed his gratitude to Spain's government and national football team for showing solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian nation, as well as for their support for Iran during the US-Israeli-imposed war.
Spain defeated Argentina in the final of the 2026 World Cup last night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, United States, winning the championship for the second time with a 1-0 victory. The team showed a spectacular performance and was able to advance to this stage with only one goal conceded during the tournament.
Spanish fans celebrated the occasion by waving Palestinian flags in New York's Times Square, prompting Palestinian officials to commend and congratulate the Spanish national football team on their World Cup victory.
