Keyne Yamal, the 3-year-old half-brother of Spain star Lamine Yamal, emerged as one of the most beloved figures of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Born in September 2022 to Lamine's mother Sheila Ebana, Keyne went viral multiple times throughout Spain's run to the title — shouting "Vamos!" after the Austria win, making faces on the Belgium jumbotron, waving to Lamine after the semifinal, and charming everyone on the field during the final. For Lamine, who grew up in poverty, seeing Keyne experience the childhood he never had is what brings him the most happiness. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 on July 19 to win the World Cup.
