The Spanish national team will play a decisive match against Türkiye on Tuesday evening in the sixth and final round of the European qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Spain will host Turkiye at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, in a highly anticipated clash that could determine the group’s direct qualifier for next year’s World Cup, set to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
La Roja aim to officially seal their qualification after delivering an exceptional campaign throughout the qualifiers.
Spain currently top Group E with a three-point lead over Türkiye and hold a significant advantage in goal difference, a position that gives them a realistic chance to confirm their place at the tournament.
Under manager Luis de la Fuente, Spain have won all five of their qualifiers so far, scoring 19 goals without conceding a single one.
Their flawless run includes five consecutive clean sheets.
Spain strengthened their lead with a resounding 4–0 victory away to Georgia, setting a new national record for the longest unbeaten streak in official matches, reaching 30 consecutive games.
To secure their World Cup ticket, Spain only need to avoid a heavy defeat by a seven-goal margin.
La Roja are aiming to qualify for the tournament, where they seek to win football’s biggest prize for the second time in their history.
Spain hold a strong record against Türkiye, winning their last four encounters, including a commanding 6–0 victory in the reverse fixture in Istanbul last September.
