Spain enter the 2026 World Cup as the second-highest-ranked team and one of the heavy favorites for the title in North America.
European champions two years ago, La Roja boast one of the strongest rosters of any nation at these finals, and it would be a profound shock indeed if they did not at least progress to the knockout phase.
While there are concerns around the fitness of star winger Lamine Yamal, head coach Luis de la Fuente has plenty of options at his disposal as he looks to navigate a group that, on paper, will pose little difficulty until Spain’s third and final match against Uruguay.
Here is everything you need to know about Spain’s appearance at the World Cup, including the latest results from the tournament.
