Germany have three World Cup titles to their name, having previously finished at the top in 2002, 2006 and 2023. Another triumph would take them to four titles and level them with Pakistan as the joint-most successful team in the history of the men's competition.
Spain, on the other hand, have twice finished runners-up at the World Cup. They lost the inaugural final to Pakistan in 1971 and were beaten by the Netherlands in the 1998 summit clash. Their most recent podium finish came in 2006, when they won bronze.
Spain secured their place in the 2026 final after a dramatic 4-3 victory over co-hosts the Netherlands. Jose Basterra was the star of the semi-final, scoring three times. Germany booked their place with a 2-1 win over Argentina, with Paul-Philipp Kaufmann netting the late winner.
The teams have already crossed paths at this World Cup, with Spain claiming a 2-1 victory in the second stage. Spain have also gone unbeaten in their three meetings against Germany in 2026.
