The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has announced the launch of ‘Once Upon a Time in America: The Story of Our Second Star’, a commemorative comic book celebrating Spain’s historic triumph at the 2026 World Cup. Pre-orders will open this Saturday, 14 November, with the book officially arriving in stores on 24 November.

Spain’s second star has secured its place in the history of Spanish football. Now, the RFEF, in collaboration with Gersh, wants to bring fans the story of a triumph that inspired an entire country, capturing on the page the moments, emotions and experiences that made last summer unforgettable.

Through its illustrations and storytelling, ‘Once Upon a Time in America’ tells the story of our second star from a fresh and personal perspective, inviting readers to discover how the ‘family’ experienced from within a World Cup that will undoubtedly go down in history. Dressing-room anecdotes, the close-knit atmosphere within the squad and the moments shared throughout the tournament come to life in a work that goes beyond sporting results to reveal the human side of that historic achievement.

Designed for readers of all ages, the comic book combines the visual language of the graphic novel with real-life events, offering generations of Spain fans a new way to relive the journey to the title.

Because behind our second star lies a story worth telling. A story of hard work, togetherness, talent and excitement that now belongs to every fan of the national team.
