The reigning European champions Spain are looking to win their second ever World Cup in 2026.
A decade-and-a-half after Andres Iniesta’s extra-time goal lifted Spain to their first ever World Cup title in 2010, the Spanish are as loaded as ever. Between the 18-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Pedri and plenty of more talent, the Spanish enter as one of the favorites to be the final team standing.
To get a place atop Group H, the Spanish know every point is needed. But, they face a difficult opponent in Saudi Arabia, who is no stranger to World Cup shockers; in the 2022 tournament, the Saudi Arabians defeated the eventual champions Lionel Messi and Argentina in the opening game.
