Since lifting the world title in 2010 and adding the European crown in 2024, La Roja arrive with their unmistakable identity: long spells of possession, quick passing combinations and magic between the lines. Up against them, the Asian Tigers bring a breakneck tempo built on intensity, high pressing and lightning-fast transitions – a style that never eases off the throttle.
Their World Cup history includes a 2-2 draw in 1994 and a 2002 quarter-final settled from the penalty spot. In a group stage, every point is priceless: a single lapse can be enough to miss out on the next round.
Now a fully established powerhouse, the Iberian side head into the 2026 World Cup used to delivering on the big stage, with a young core led by Rodri, Pedri, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.
The Asian team, meanwhile, boast eleven appearances at the global showpiece, a historic fourth place in 2002 and a last-16 finish at Qatar 2022. Son Heung-min spearheads the attack, backed by the defensive authority of Kim Min-jae and the creativity of Lee Kang-in. A showdown like this can turn the group on its head: lock in your tickets and feel the tension live.
