Spain World Cup Draw 2026: Group Results, Schedule, Roster, Coach and More to Know

Spain faces Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, and Cape Verde in Group H with a projected 26-man roster led by coach Luis de la Fuente amid high expectations after recent European titles.

  • Spain was drawn into Group H with Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and Cape Verde, detailed in a complete guide to the Spain national team's World Cup draw, roster and schedule.
  • In recent years Spain won the UEFA Nations League 2023 and UEFA Euro 2024, raising expectations as Luis de la Fuente's side faces pressure after not passing the 2010 World Cup Round of 16.
  • Spain's projected 26-man roster mixes veterans and teenagers, including David Raya, Unai Simon, and Lamine Yamal, with Simon at 56 caps and Ferran Torres and Mikel Oyarzabal each exceeding 50 caps.
  • Yamal's groin injury and treatment split could limit Spain’s World Cup prep, which they secured by winning UEFA Group E with 16 points after a 2-1 draw against Turkey.
  • Entering the tournament as favorites, Spain national team bears heavy expectations as odds-on favorite status brings pressure, supported by midfield depth but framed by all-time World Cup goals scored 108 and goals conceded 75.
