🇪🇸 Spain name World Cup squad with no players from a LaLiga giant | OneFootball

The Spanish national team already has its official squad for the 2026 World Cup!

This Monday (25), Luis de la Fuente announced the call-up list, keeping the core of the European champions while also including changes, surprises, and important decisions after a very demanding season.

For the first time in history, there is not a single Real Madrid player!

Championship core and key decisions

The core of the team that won Euro 2024 remains the backbone of the national side.

Players such as Rodri, Pedri, Fabián Ruiz, Dani Olmo, and Lamine Yamal continue to be key pieces in the project.

Luis de la Fuente prioritized current form and fitness, which led to some notable absences and the inclusion of players who stood out during the season.

In goal, defense, and midfield, the team keeps a very familiar structure.

Up front, Spain is betting on pace, flair, and young talent to compete at the highest level.
