The Spanish national football team has reached the summit of world football for the second time in its history, and Barcelona midfielder Gavi made sure the celebrations got a colorful touch. The young footballer has kept the promise he made before the start of the 2026 World Cup by dyeing his hair pink.
Before the tournament in the USA, Canada, and Mexico even began, Gavi vowed to change his look if 'La Roja' lifted the trophy. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the final at the 'New York New Jersey' stadium after extra time, thus giving him the 'green light' to visit the barber.
"A man who keeps his word," Gavi wrote in the caption of his Instagram post, where he shared two photos of his bold new style. In the pictures, he poses with a completely shaved head and light pink dyed hair.
His teammate Lamine Yamal didn't wait long to react. In the comments below the post, he left laughing-crying emojis, clearly showing that Gavi's new look delighted him. The barber also shared details of the entire makeover alongside Gavi's post, revealing that the player didn't hesitate to shave his head, lighten his hair, and finally dye it pink.
Gavi still has a few days of rest before rejoining Barcelona. According to Goal.com, the Andalusian is expected to report to the training camp on August 12, 2026, along with his other national team colleagues. He enters the new season with Barça fresh from winning the World Cup, with a striking new look and hope to carry his brilliance onto the club stage.
