Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were in the stands to witness Spain beat Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.
On Sunday, July 19, the “We Found Love” singer, 38, and “Fashion Killa” rapper, 37, were spotted at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., which was renamed the “New York New Jersey Stadium” for the duration of the World Cup.
The couple — who share three children, RZA, Riot and Rocki, together — appeared in good spirits as they sat alongside NBA star Jalen Brunson and his wife Ali Brunson.
Rihanna paired a brown Vetements football jersey with cargo shorts and beige stiletto boots for the outing, while covering her eyes with sunglasses. She was seen holding a crossbody bag and completed her look by styling her dark hair in a ponytail.

A$AP Rocky also opted for a casual look, teaming an oversized white T-shirt with denim pants and a black cap.
During the World Cup final, the fashionable couple appeared on the stadium’s jumbotron. They appeared blissfully unaware as they kept their eyes fixed on the players and spoke to each other.
Sunday’s game included an all-star 11-minute halftime show, curated by Coldplay‘s Chris Martin.
Shakira, Burna Boy, Madonna, BTS and Justin Bieber put on a Super Bowl-style spectacle before Spain beat Argentina 1-0, securing their second-ever World Cup trophy.

The 2026 tournament lasted just over a month with matches across 16 different cities in Canada, the United States and Mexico. At the final on Sunday, FIFA boss Gianni Infantino and President Donald Trump handed out awards to various match officials and players before Spain’s players celebrated by lifting the World Cup.
Trump, 80, was seen waving to people in the stands despite boos ringing out in the stadium, as people expressed their disapproval of his attendance.

Rihanna’s appearance at the historic event alongside A$AP Rocky comes less than a week after she surprised attendees at Jay-Z‘s 30th anniversary concert in New York City with a performance of her own.
Rihanna donned a custom Saint Laurent look featuring a strapless long-sleeved leather top and matching leather capri pants as she joined the rapper for their 2010 song “Run This Town.” The Fenty Beauty founder later gave a solo performance of her 2015 hit, “Bitch Better Have My Money.”
Last month, she supported A$AP Rocky as he took to the stage for one of his Don’t Be Dumb tour stops at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. Rihanna was seen holding their 2-year-old son, Riot Rose, in the audience.
