Spain U19 wins U19 Euro 2024, extending their dominance in world football.

The 2-0 victory over France in the U19 Euro 2024 final not only secured Spain’s 12th title in this tournament but also continued to assert their dominance in international football.

On Sunday evening, the Spain U19 team impressively defeated France 2-0 in the final of the 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship held in Northern Ireland. This victory brought joy to Spanish fans and clearly demonstrated Spain’s dominance in international football.

Throughout the tournament, La Rojita (the nickname for the Spain U19 team) displayed outstanding performance and dominance over their opponents. Former Real Madrid forward Iker Bravo’s goal at the end of the first half set the tone for the victory.

Real Betis’ Assane Diao then sealed the 2-0 scoreline in the 69th minute. The win was further solidified when France’s Yoni Gomis received a red card just a few minutes later.

This is Spain’s 12th victory in the U19 European Championship, cementing their position as the most successful team in the tournament’s history. They have surpassed England U19’s record of 11 titles. Additionally, Spain has the most finals appearances (16 times), with 12 championships, 4 runner-ups, 6 third-place finishes, and 6 fourth-place finishes.

The success of the U19 team is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a broader picture of Spanish football’s dominance. Just two weeks prior, the Spain national team won the EURO 2024.

Currently, Spain holds titles in many major tournaments: EURO 2024 (men), World Cup (women), Nations League (men), Nations League (women), U20 World Cup (women), U17 World Cup (women), U17 EURO (women), U19 EURO (women), and U19 EURO (men).

Spanish football is in a golden era, dominating almost all international competitions. At the club level, Real Madrid is the reigning men’s UEFA Champions League champion, while Barcelona holds the same title in the women’s competition.

Looking back at history, Spanish football went through a golden period from 2008 to 2012 when they won three consecutive major tournaments: EURO 2008, World Cup 2010, and EURO 2012. After that, they experienced a decline with many failures in major tournaments. However, in recent years, Spanish football has strongly risen and achieved many impressive successes.

This success doesn’t stop here. At the upcoming 2024 Olympics, both the men’s and women’s football teams of Spain are considered top contenders for the gold medal.

Both teams have already secured a spot in the quarterfinals after winning their first two group stage matches. Many experts predict that Spain could win both gold medals in football at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The victory of Spain U19 at the Euro is not just an isolated success but a testament to the comprehensive dominance of Spanish football on the international stage. From youth levels to the national team, from men’s to women’s football, Spain is showing that they are a leading football powerhouse in the world. This is not only a source of pride for the Spanish people but also an inspiration for other nations in developing their football.
