The women’s podium in Doha is now complete. After the bronze medal was awarded to Italy on the morning of November 7, the afternoon saw the moment of the grand final of the FIP World Cup 2026<\/a><\/strong>, in which Spain once again defeated Argentina and retained its world champion title<\/strong>. With this victory, La <\/strong>Roja adds its tenth trophy, the seventh consecutive one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The team led by Carolina Navarro<\/strong>stepped onto the court with Ariana S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> and Andrea Ustero<\/strong> as the first representatives. Two players who, accustomed to sharing the same side of the court on the professional circuit, quickly showcased the automatic skills they have already consolidated.<\/p>\n

Although their opponents, Aranzazu Osoro<\/strong> and Martina Fassio<\/strong>, managed a break in the second set \u2013which allowed them to take the lead for the first time\u2013, the Spaniards reacted immediately, regained control of the rhythm, and closed the first match with a double 6-3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With the first point of the playoff already secured, it was time for the second match. Led by the Spaniards Gemma Triay<\/strong> and Paula Josemar\u00eda<\/strong> against the Argentinians Delfi Brea <\/strong>and Claudia Jensen<\/strong>, the opening set was taken by the former 6-2. However, the team coached by Rodrigo Ovide<\/strong>, far from giving up, forced the third set after a tie-break (6-7).<\/p>\n

During the time on the benches, a clear slogan could be heard from the Argentine delegation: to bet on ‘the lobs and on the chiquita’; from the Spanish side, ‘the volleys and the smashes.’ Back on the court, both pairs delivered an exciting third set that ended with the signature of Triay and Josemar\u00eda (6-3).<\/p>\n

For 3 hours and 7 minutes<\/strong>, the central court of the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex<\/strong> was the scene of an exciting final, characterized by long and hard-fought rallies, as well as a high tactical and technical level.<\/p>\n

In other words, the match highlighted the level of its protagonists: regular players on the professional Padel circuit and ranked among the top positions of the FIP ranking. Indeed, the<\/strong> Spanish national team itself traveled to Qatar with eight of the world’s top ten players<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the event stood out for its emotional impact, with most of the participants returning after the last 2024 edition<\/strong> \u2013 only Andrea Ustero and Martina Calvo were making their debut on the Spanish bench, and Victoria Milena Vilchez on the Argentine one.<\/p>\n

Since the first edition of the World Cup, held in 1992, both teams have featured in 17 of the 18 finals held<\/strong>. With the match in Doha, the record reflected in the competition’s data leaves 10 titles for Spain<\/strong>and eight for Argentina<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The only Spanish absence in a final occurred in 2012, when the national team did not participate due to an institutional disagreement between the International Padel Federation (FIP) and the Spanish Padel Federation (FEP). As a result, the FEP itself decided not to attend the event. In this edition, the Albiceleste team was proclaimed champion, the Brazilian team finished as runner-up, and the French team took third place.<\/p>\n
