Rafael Nadal posted a heartfelt message on X supporting Spain ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina.

Spain secured a 2-1 semi-final victory over France and is aiming for a second World Cup title after 2010.

Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, beat England 2-1 in the semi-finals and could become the first back-to-back champion since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.

Spain's final training session was canceled due to thunderstorms in New Jersey; Argentina's session was delayed by 45 minutes.
