Lamine Yamal has kept his World Cup promise by handing out Beats headphones to fans around Barcelona and filming the day for his YouTube channel.
Before the tournament, Yamal said on his channel, “I’ll raffle 100 Beats” if Spain won the World Cup. He also promised to grow a beard and moustache for three weeks. In the new video, he says he already completed the moustache promise and didn’t shave it off afterwards.
“Like I said, if we won the World Cup I’d give away… 100 Beats,” Yamal said in the video, adding that his sponsor Beats supplied the new headphones whils he opens a pink pair that matches his outfit. He praised the noise cancelling feature for flights.
Yamal posted an Instagram story announcing the giveaway and guessed the first fan would need seven minutes to arrive. He watched a group of five people near a university, joking that at least one of them probably followed him. A girl had Instagram open, and soon all five ran over. The first fan told him they studied next door and saw the story.
Yamal handed out pairs until they ran out. He joked that 1,000 would have been a better number than 100. A few late arrivals missed out, and Yamal told them, “In life you have to be quick.”
Between stops, Yamal approached some fans and asked, “Do you know where there’s a restaurant around here for dinner?” One said he knew more places around Les Corts but none right there. Yamal gave them headphones in exchange for the information, and they asked for a photo.
Yamal also revealed a “golden ticket” good for two Champions League tickets and a pair of his signed boots. He joked that he would send the winner to the Kazakhstan game. He sat on a park bench pretending nothing was happening, then approached four fans and asked how much football they knew. One said about 20 percent.
He asked who his favorite player was. They answered Messi, which was wrong. Then he asked what boots he wears, and they answered F50, which was right. Yamal gave them four tickets instead of two and told them to email the address on the ticket. He ended the video by saying there was training the next day.
Yamal’s promise depended on the final on July 19, 2026. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Ferran Torres scored the winner in the 106th minute.
Argentina played the extra period with ten men after Enzo Fernández received a second yellow card. Yamal curled a free kick that goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez tipped out for a corner.
The win gave Spain its second World Cup, 16 years after its first in 2010.
