Spain are set to begin their build-up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a friendly clash against Iraq at the Riazor Stadium in La Coruna this Thursday.
Head coach Luis de la Fuente is likely to make several changes to his squad, providing key playing time to a number of players as part of the tournament preparations. With Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal, and Victor Munoz sidelined through injury, and some players joining late due to their participation in the Champions League final, Spain’s starting eleven may differ from the one expected to face Cape Verde in their World Cup opener on June 15.
De la Fuente also voiced his confidence in the Riazor pitch conditions, assuring that the surface remains suitable for play despite the recent celebrations after Deportivo’s promotion to La Liga.
