Spain enters the 2026 World Cup determined to reclaim its historic glory. World champions in 2010 and European champions in 2008 and 2012, La Roja aims to return to the summit with a new generation brimming with talent and ambition. Their possession‑based, collective style remains the hallmark.
Spain’s story is defined by icons like Iker Casillas, Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta, Sergio Ramos, and David Villa, who forged a golden era. Today, players such as Pedri, Gavi, and Rodri embody the future of a side built on a winning identity.
In 2026, Spain looks to blend its possession tradition with added verticality and pace. With a strong core and rising stars, experts view them as a serious title contender, ready to revive the magic that once made them champions.
