Spain vs Iraq La Roja Begin FIFA World Cup 2026 Preparations
Spain will kick off their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a friendly match against Iraq at Riazor Stadium in La Coruna on Thursday.
Head coach Luis de la Fuente is expected to rotate his squad and give valuable minutes to several players ahead of the tournament. Injuries to Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal and Victor Munoz, along with the late arrival of players involved in the Champions League final, mean Spain’s lineup may not reflect the team set to face Cape Verde in their World Cup opener on June 15.
De la Fuente also expressed confidence that the Riazor pitch will be in good condition despite recent celebrations following Deportivo’s promotion to La Liga.
