King of Spain to Attend the Final

The royal palace announced the day before yesterday that Spain’s King Felipe VI will attend his national team’s match in the World Cup final, scheduled for the day after tomorrow in East Rutherford, on the outskirts of New York. The royal palace stated, “All four will go,” referring to King Felipe VI, his wife Queen Letizia, and their two daughters, Princesses Leonor and Sofia. Spain reached the final for the second time in its history after defeating France 2-0 on Tuesday, setting up a clash with defending champions Argentina. King Felipe previously attended Spain’s Group Stage match against Uruguay (1-0), held in Guadalajara, Mexico. Spain hopes to win the world title for the second time in its history, following its first victory in 2010 in South Africa, when it beat the Netherlands 1-0 in the final.
