Spain 2026 World Cup Stats
Having beaten Germany, France and England on their way to the 2024 European Championship, Spain land in North America as the joint World Cup betting favourites alongside Les Bleus. Carrying a squad widely regarded as one of the most complete in international football, the 2010 world champions have evolved into a more direct and physically robust side.
Under head coach Luis de la Fuente, La Roja combine youthful fearlessness with elite-level tactical structure, making them one of the most balanced teams in the tournament.
Rodri remains the team’s most important figure, anchoring midfield with intelligence, composure and world-class game management. Lamine Yamal has emerged as a generational talent on the wing, already influencing matches at the highest level despite his age. Pedri adds creativity and control in advanced midfield areas, while not many players can consider themselves as a better goalkeeper than David Raya.
Unsurprisingly, Spain qualified comfortably through UEFA competition, once again underlining their consistency at the top level. Expectations are extremely high, with anything short of a deep tournament run likely to be viewed as underperformance. With exceptional depth across all positions, Spain enter North America as genuine contenders to lift the trophy. In fact, our Spain World Cup preview is backing La Roja to win back-to-back international tournaments.
