Marc Cucurella decided to turn a promise into a permanent memory. The left back of the Spanish team got a tattoo of Luis de la Fuente's face after winning the 2026 World Cup, a commitment that he had made during the tournament concentration and that he revealed this Tuesday through his social networks.
The footballer published a photograph with the tattoo artist Ganga and the content creator Ceciarmy, accompanied by the message: “Promises are kept.” The image showed the final result of the tattoo, made while the player enjoyed his vacation after the championship.
The Spanish team won its second world title on July 19 by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final held in New Jersey. Cucurella started at left back and remained one of Luis de la Fuente's trusted players throughout the competition.
The chosen design was not limited to a portrait. According to the images released by the player himself, the tattoo represents the coach holding the World Cup, with the tournament logo as a background.
The promise was born during the World Cup concentration
The origin of the tattoo dates back to the days before the outcome of the championship. During the concentration, Cucurella assured that, if Spain lifted the cup, the face of the national coach would be engraved on his skin.
The scene was documented in a video shared by Ceciarmy, who accompanied the footballer during the process. "Today is a very important day for Spain because the promise is fulfilled. We are going to Cucurella's house to tattoo him, this is going to be crazy," commented the influencer while showing the defender smiling before starting the session.
The publication generated a quick reaction on social networks and became one of the most talked about images of the celebration after the world title.
Another challenge remains open for the future
The day also left a new public commitment. Ceciarmy announced on his The message surpassed 30,000 views shortly after its publication.
Cucurella was not the only member of the team who had made a promise related to the coach. Álex Baena, his teammate in La Roja, also said during the tournament that he would get a tattoo of Luis de la Fuente's face if he won the World Cup, although so far it has not been reported whether he has already fulfilled that commitment.
The tattoo on the side thus adds to the most personal celebrations of the Spanish squad after the success achieved in the United States, Canada and Mexico. For Cucurella, the image of Luis de la Fuente raising the cup will now remain as a permanent memory of the night in which Spain once again became world champion sixteen years after South Africa 2010.
