The White House Official Account Reacts as Spain Star Ferran Torres Celebrates FIFA World Cup Triumph with 'Make Spain Great Again' Merch

The gesture drew political interpretations as fans and media linked it to Donald Trump’s slogan and Spain’s right-wing Vox party.

  • On Monday, July 20, 2026, soccer star Ferran Torres, who scored the winning goal in the 106th minute of the 2026 World Cup, wore a red hat emblazoned with the slogan "Make Spain Great Again" during the victory parade in Madrid.
  • The Trump White House shared Fox News footage of the forward wearing the cap, captioning the post: "Everyone wants in on the movement," referencing the former president's campaign.
  • While the cap resembles the slogan associated with the former U.S. president, critics noted the right-wing party Vox previously used the same phrase, fueling mixed interpretations regarding the intent behind the player's choice.
  • Separately, Alberto of Sumar claimed that his company, Eleven Future Invest, operated as a "vulture fund" with 20 homes, though sources clarify the firm owns 50 offices in one commercial building.
  • With the Royal Spanish Football Federation silent, he has not offered any public explanation for the hat, leaving the gesture open to speculation following the tournament's conclusion.
