SPAIN ★

Spain is the 2010 World Cup champion and a four-time European champion (1964, 2008, 2012, 2024). At the 2026 World Cup, Spain plays in Group H with Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and Cape Verde. Head coach Luis de la Fuente has led the team since 2022; the main stars are 18-year-old Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Rodri. Spain is ranked second by FIFA and enters the tournament on a 30-match unbeaten run.

In 2010 in South Africa, Spain won its first World Cup. The team played "tiki-taka" — short passing and possession, often reaching 70%+ in every match. The final against the Netherlands in Johannesburg was goalless until the 116th minute, when Andrés Iniesta scored from Jesús Navas's assist — the only goal of the match. The win closed an "era of underachievers": Spain had not advanced past a major-tournament quarterfinal since 1950 before 2008. After 2010, Spain won Euro 2012 — the only case in history of a team winning Euro–World Cup–Euro consecutively.

Spain finished first in qualifying with seven wins. By 2026, de la Fuente has a new generation — after winning Euro 2024 in Berlin (2:1 over England), the team returned to the list of top favorites. The main concern is injuries to Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams ahead of the group stage. In Group H the headline derby is against Uruguay. Matches are in Los Angeles, Miami, and Kansas City. After the group, a possible round of 16 against Argentina would be the tournament's Spanish-speaking classico.
