How Bulgaria arrives for the match

The Bulgarian national team debuts against the group favorite and will try to pull off an upset in pursuit of a World Cup spot. However, the current moment is not the best: their last victory was in November 2024, against Luxembourg. Since then, they have suffered three defeats and two draws.

How Spain arrives for the match

Spain begins their campaign after losing the Nations League title to Portugal on penalties. Despite being runners-up, the team has already secured at least a playoff spot for the 2026 World Cup, but coach Luis de la Fuente's goal is to confirm their favoritism and secure direct qualification.
