Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to Attend World Cup Final

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will attend the World Cup final on Sunday, where Spain will face Argentina, according to an announcement from his office reported by AFP on Friday. The match will take place at MetLife Stadium, near New York City.

During the event, Pedro Sánchez is expected to encounter Donald Trump, a well-known critic of Sánchez. Their relationship has been notably strained in the past. However, Argentinian President Javier Milei will not be present, as he stated on Thursday, July 16, that he would watch the final on television due to superstition.

Also anticipated at the final is King Felipe VI of Spain.
