Spain's 26-player squad

The defence carries experience across multiple positions, structured to execute de la Fuente's possession-based pressing system.
Spain's Group H fixtures
Spain's three Group H fixtures begin with Cape Verde on 15 June at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, followed by Saudi Arabia on 21 June at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and Uruguay on 26 June at Estadio Akron in Zapopan.
How far can Spain go at the World Cup?
Spain's Tier 1 status and Group H draw position them as genuine contenders for the title. Their possession dominance and aggressive pressing from qualifying are the foundations for a deep tournament run. The group offers a comfortable pathway to progression, but their attacking creativity and midfield control will be tested significantly in the knockout stages if they maintain momentum.
