Luis de la Fuente hails Spain’s unbeaten World Cup qualifying run | OneFootball

Spain drew 2-2 with Turkey this Tuesday (18th), in Seville, and secured its spot in the 2026 World Cup. The Spaniards, who scored with Dani Olmo and Mikel Oyarzabal, faced difficulties, but finished undefeated at the top of Group E in the European Qualifiers.

“I’m happy to be in a World Cup and with the way we got here,” declared coach Luis de la Fuente with a broad smile during the press conference, noting that his team is “unbeaten for 31 games.”

“We had a match where we could have won comfortably in the first half, and in the second half we had our chances,” commented the coach.

Spot was certain

‘La Roja’ had practically secured qualification before the match, as they would only lose their spot with a defeat by seven or more goals.

“We’re left with a bitter taste because we wanted to keep a clean sheet, but we’re happy to have qualified for the World Cup,” admitted Dani Olmo after the match.

Regarding the excitement of playing in the World Cup, the Barcelona player said that both the players and the coaching staff are looking forward to the tournament, but reminded everyone that “first comes the March FIFA date.”

Champions in 2010, Spain will be making its 17th World Cup appearance.
