The victory made La Roja the first team to hold the under-17, under-20 and senior world titles at the same time.
Spain are the fifth winner in nine editions of the Women’s World Cup and join Germany as the only two nations to win both the men’s and women’s titles.
Spain are the fifth team to lift the World Cup since the tournament began in 1991, joining outgoing champions the US, Germany, Norway and Japan.
