The World Cup 2026 final saw a gathering of notable figures, including actress Pia Miller, actor Matt Damon, and radio host Lauren Phillips, who occupied a private box at MetLife Stadium. The final match, contested between Spain and Argentina, drew a high-profile audience.
Pia Miller, alongside her husband Patrick, was seen cheering for Spain in a team jersey, cap, and scarf. Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso supported Argentina, Barroso's native country, wearing the team's colors. Lauren Phillips, a Melbourne-based radio host, missed her work commitments to attend the event. Phillips, along with her fiancé Paul O'Brien, was present in the box, which has been a hub for celebrity gatherings during the tournament.
Damon and Barroso have recently been seen with Miller and her husband, attending events such as the London premiere of Damon's film "The Odyssey" and a Shania Twain concert. During the World Cup final broadcast, a commentator mistakenly identified Damon as actor Brad Pitt, a slip quickly corrected by the announcer. This incident drew amusement on social media.
The match concluded with Spain defeating Argentina. Damon and Barroso, who have been married since 2005, have four daughters. The event marked a high-profile conclusion to the month-long tournament hosted in the United States.
