Empire State Building lights up yellow and red in celebration of Spain’s World Cup victory
The Empire State Building in New York was illuminated in yellow and red on Sunday night to mark Spain's victory in the football World Cup final. The landmark's tower lights are frequently changed to celebrate major sporting and cultural events, and this display recognised Spain's win over Argentina in the tournament decider held in the city.
Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the final, a match that also drew attention for a post-match scuffle between players and for a heavily criticised half-time show. The game brought numerous celebrities to the stands, including members of the Beckham family, Dua Lipa and Mick Jagger, while Donald Trump took part in the trophy lift alongside the Spanish team.
