Spain were crowned the 2026 FIFA World Cup champions over the weekend, and forward Ferran Torres has drawn attention for his choice of celebratory headwear.
The final, held at MetLife Stadium, saw Spain and Argentina fail to score in regulation time. Torres netted the only goal of the match in extra time. During the subsequent World Cup trophy parade, he was spotted wearing a cap emblazoned with the phrase “Make Spain Great Again.”
The White House Responds
Depending on one’s perspective, Torres’s cap could be interpreted as either a mockery of Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) slogan or a show of support for the U.S. President.
The official White House social media account appeared to join in on the conversation. Quoting a video of Torres at the parade wearing the cap, the account wrote:
“Everyone wants in on the movement.”
However, many social media users interpreted the gesture differently. Several replies suggested Torres was mocking the MAGA movement rather than endorsing it.
- One user wrote: “Nah gang he was mocking y’all, but you aren’t ready for that conversation.”
- Another added: “That joke went above your head to retweet this.”
- A third commented: “I’m pretty sure he’s mocking y’all.”
- Another tweeted: “You realize he’s mocking MAGA, right? Of course not….”
- A fifth user stated: “He is trolling you MAGA.”
- Another remarked: “Y’all really can’t tell that someone mocks and makes fun of you, can ya? I’m not surprised.”
At the time of writing, Torres has not publicly commented on the cap or the reactions it has generated.
