On July 11, 2025, the 15th anniversary of Spain's first FIFA World Cup victory in 2010 was commemorated. The historic win took place in South Africa, where Spain defeated the Netherlands 1-0 in the final held at Soccer City in Johannesburg. The decisive goal was scored by Andrés Iniesta in the 116th minute, securing Spain's first-ever World Cup title. The victory united the nation and marked a milestone in Spanish football history. The 2010 Spanish team, coached by Vicente del Bosque, is remembered as a legendary squad, with six players from that roster still active in professional football, including Javi Martínez, Raúl Albiol, Sergio Busquets, Juan Mata, Sergio Ramos, and Pedro Rodríguez. Del Bosque recently revealed the two players he found difficult to exclude from the 2010 World Cup squad. The event remains a celebrated moment in Spain's sporting legacy, with many reflecting on the impact and whereabouts of the champions 15 years later.
