“I don’t know about politics”: Ferran Torres addresses his “Make Spain Great Again” cap at World Cup victory celebrations

Spanish football star Ferran Torres drew attention online after he wore a hat that had "Make Spain Great Again" written on it during the national team's victory parade in Madrid on July 20, 2026, after Spain won against Argentina in the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to the New York Post, Ferran Torres, 26, who also plays for FC Barcelona, talked about the victory parade incident on The Source with the CNN news anchor Kaitlin Collins on August 3, 2026. Torres, during his conversation with Collins made it clear that there was no political angle to it at all. In fact, he also reiterated that he is not interested in politics.

The primary reason why Torres' "Make Spain Great Again" hat caught the attention of the media and netizens is that it is similar to Donald Trump's popular "Make America Great Again" slogan surrounding the MAGA campaign. However, according to the New York Post, while talking with Kaitlin Collins about his "Make Spain Great Again" cap, Ferran Torres said:

"Yeah, it was a funny moment because it was not about politics because honestly, I don't know about politics. It was just to be able to see Spain again on the top, winning the world cup. It was just to have fun with my friends, with my family, and nothing about politics."
