FIFA WC Final Is Football's Biggest Celebration, Brings Nations Together: Shaji Prabhakaran
All India Football Federation: The 2026 FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina is much more than a contest to crown the world's best football team, according to the former general secretary of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), who believes the summit clash represents the sport's unparalleled ability to unite people, cultures and nations while creating an impact that extends far beyond the field.
Speaking exclusively to IANS ahead of the FIFA WC showdown, Prabhakaran said the tournament has once again demonstrated why football remains the world's most influential sport, with the expanded 48-team format delivering high-quality competition and unprecedented global reach.
Calling the final the pinnacle of the sport, Prabhakaran said football's greatest strength lies in its ability to connect people across geographical and cultural boundaries and described the FIFA World Cup final as a global celebration that transcends the game itself.
