Following their victory in the 2026 World Cup on Saturday, July 25th, the Spanish national soccer team indulged in a unique post-win treat: pizza from BXJ, a bagel shop located in Orange, New Jersey. BXJ prepared 46 pies for the champions, highlighting a special connection between the world-class athletes and this American eatery.

This detail was shared in an opinion piece by Scott Simon for NPR News, which noted the surprising craving of World Cup champions for New Jersey pizza after their triumph.
