- Argentina was reduced to ten men when Enzo Fernández received a second yellow card in stoppage time of the 90 minutes, a decisive turning point that left them defending with a man down in extra time.
- The trophy presentation drew loud boos when President Donald Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino appeared in the winners’ box, underscoring fan resistance to political figures on the podium.
- FIFA announced it will issue limited-edition championship rings for the winners, with 30 personalised rings for the squad and the remainder offered for public sale, reflecting a new US-style ceremonial addition.
