The 2026 FIFA World Cup draws to a close on Sunday, July 19, as defending champions Argentina take on Spain in the final.
In a world where expressions of faith and religion are often muted, or treated as somewhat of an odd curiosity, the World Cup has proven different. Nearly every game, players can be seen pointing to the sky in thanksgiving, dropping to their knees in gratitude, or outright declaring their appreciation of what God has done in their lives.
Sunday’s match should be no different, as members of both Argentina and Spain have been vocal about their Catholic faith, on and off the pitch.
