King Felipe has already attended a group stage match last month in Mexico where Spain beat Uruguay.
His family donned Spain’s football shirts on Tuesday night to cheer on their side to victory against France.
There had been some doubt about whether Pedro Sanchez would make the journey due to prior commitments.
Soon after the match ends, Sanchez will travel from New York to Algiers for an official visit to the North African country.
That includes an economic forum and a meeting with the country’s president, Abdelmayid Tebboune.
Pedro Sanchez was Spain’s last great success when they won the European Championship final against England in July 2024 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin
Minister for Sport, Milagros Tolon, will also attend this Sunday’s final, having been at Tuesday’s semi-final victory against France.
Spain will be looking to lift the World Cup for the second time after their 2010 victory in South Africa.
