Support From Palestine to Finalist Spain: Lamine Yamal's Viral Photo with Palestinian Flag is Back!
The finalists have been determined for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Spain National Football Team, which managed to secure a place in the final, received a message of support from the State of Palestine. The official X account of Palestine's Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations celebrated Spain's final excitement with a photo of the young star Lamine Yamal waving the Palestinian flag during the La Liga championship celebrations a few months ago.
Here are the details.
Support for World Cup Excitement with Palestinian Flag
The official account of the Spanish National Football Team (@SEFutbol) shared the news of making it to the finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a note saying,
'Finally, a summer we will experience... IN NEW YORK' and a special visual.
The State of Palestine, which did not remain indifferent to this enthusiastic sharing, declared its support for Spain in the final by quoting the news with the note 'Viva Spain 🇪🇸' from its official United Nations account (@PalestineUN).
The visual chosen by the Palestine account for this celebration quickly resonated on social media.

The Background of That Photo: Yamal, Flick, Katz and Sanchez
The frame used by Palestine in its share belongs to the moment when Lamine Yamal, the young star of Barcelona, waved the Palestinian flag during La Liga championship celebrations last May. This image, which caused a stir on social media at the time, also led to various reactions in both the football world and political circles.
Barcelona's Head Coach Hansi Flick, after the ensuing debates, emphasized the need to focus on football in his statement, taking a cautious approach to the issue. Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz, on the other hand, described Yamal's action as 'provocative' and stated that he expected a statement from Barcelona Club.
Prime Minister Sanchez Had Supported the Young Star
Meanwhile, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was among those who supported the young footballer. Sanchez, who maintained his stance on Palestine after Spain officially recognized the State of Palestine along with Norway and Ireland in 2024, defended Yamal's solidarity with Palestine, reacting to the criticism from Israel.
Today, the official account of Palestine at the United Nations choosing the same frame while celebrating Spain's rise to the World Cup final brought the image, which caused a stir months ago, back to the agenda of social media.
