Following Spain's 2026 World Cup victory, forward Ferran Torres wore a cap reading 'Make Spain Great Again' during celebrations in Madrid, sparking political debate in Spain. The slogan is a clear nod to Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) movement. The Spanish right-wing party Vox had previously adopted the phrase. While left-wing critics saw the cap as mockery or political support for Trump, the Spanish right defended Torres. On July 25, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump responded from the White House, stating he saw no mockery but rather a 'beautiful tribute' to the MAGA movement and that 'we appreciate it.' Torres himself has not commented on the controversy.
