Spain World Cup 2026 Squad: Full 26-Man List Announced
Spain enters the 2026 FIFA World Cup as one of the tournament favorites. After winning UEFA Euro 2024, La Roja arrives with an exciting generation built around technical quality, possession football and elite young talent.
Head coach Luis de la Fuente officially revealed Spain’s final 26-man squad for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
One of the biggest talking points is the complete absence of Real Madrid players — a historic first for Spain at a World Cup. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
