By TrendingWire Newsroom
Spain won the World Cup final on Sunday, defeating Argentina in a match that drew widespread attention. The tournament’s closing ceremony, produced by Balich Wonder Studio, marked the company’s sixth FIFA World Cup show. The Milan-based entertainment company, owned by Banijay, announced it is expanding its operations by opening new offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. Meanwhile, former FIFA president Sepp Blatter renewed his call for new leadership at the organization, stating that Gianni Infantino should be replaced. Blatter also said that the right team won the World Cup, referring to Spain’s victory. The comments come amid ongoing criticism of Argentina’s playing style during the final.
