Spain's World Cup victory has left several companies with economic problems.

The promotion was valid between July 1 and 14, coinciding with the final stretch of the championship.

The Conforama company also launched a similar promotion, in which customers who bought certain 75-inch TVs could recover the purchase price if Spain won the World Cup. The refund is not made in cash, but through a voucher that can be exchanged for other products from the chain.

Other companies, such as Octopus Energy and PortAventura World, also launched promotions related to the World Cup. Octopus Energy committed to returning the cost of electricity consumed during the final to registered customers who met the campaign's conditions. PortAventura World bet on a promotion based on the prediction of the World Cup champion, in which participants who correctly predicted that Spain would lift the trophy entered the draw for 25,000 tickets to the theme park.
The Spanish national team is currently on a 5-game winning streak, since the last match against Argentina on July 19, 2026. Their next match is on September 26, 2026, against England in a qualifying match for the 2028 European Championship.
