White House reacts to Ferran Torres's cap: 'Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon'

The White House has responded to Spanish footballer Ferran Torres sporting a "Make Spain Great Again" cap during the team's 2026 World Cup victory parade in Madrid. The cap is a clear adaptation of former U.S. President Donald Trump's political slogan, "Make America Great Again."

Sharing a video clip of Torres during the celebrations, the White House posted on its social media account: "Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon." The phrase mirrored the design and structure of Trump's well-known slogan, often abbreviated as MAGA, which he used during his election campaigns.

Torres's message joined a growing trend of political movements and public figures in various countries adopting variations of the U.S. president's slogan. The Spanish player's choice of headwear during the festivities drew attention and commentary.

Ferran Torres was a pivotal figure in Spain's World Cup triumph, scoring the decisive goal in the 106th minute of extra time against Argentina. This 1-0 victory secured Spain's second World Cup title, following their previous win in South Africa in 2010.
