Fresh off their Euro 2024 victory, Spain is aiming to make history by becoming the first nation to successfully defend the UEFA Nations League trophy this summer in Germany.
Coach Luis de la Fuente emphasizes the tournament’s “enormous importance,” viewing it as a crucial step in Spain’s international resurgence.
Their Nations League win in 2023 was a significant turning point, propelling a young Spanish side to Euro 2024 glory. Now, they face France in the semi-finals, with a potential final against Germany or Portugal.
This sustained success positions Spain as a strong contender for the 2026 World Cup.
De la Fuente’s side, boasting young stars like Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Pedri, remains hungry for more.
Despite a focus on youth, the coach has also brought back experienced players like Isco, further strengthening a squad already rich in talent.
Spain’s depth and tactical versatility, even without a traditional “elite” striker, underscore their collective strength as they strive for another historic triumph.
