Spain
Spain enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Euro 2024 champions and one of the most exciting teams in the world, spearheaded by teenage sensation Lamine Yamal - possibly the most gifted player to emerge since Messi. Under Luis de la Fuente, La Roja play adventurous, possession-based football that has enthralled world football, with Pedri and the returning Rodri controlling midfield with elegance and authority. Group H alongside Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and debutants Cape Verde should be navigated comfortably, with Spain's sights firmly set on a deep knockout run. Winning the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Spain know what it takes - and this new generation looks ready to add a second star.
Read Spain preview →Cape Verde
Cape Verde make their historic debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, representing one of the most remarkable qualification stories of the entire tournament. The Blue Sharks, a tiny Atlantic archipelago nation of just 560,000 people, have punched far above their weight in African football for over a decade. Coach Pedro Leitão leads a squad built from dual-nationals with Portuguese heritage playing across European leagues, including the tricky Ryan Mendes and the experienced Garry Rodrigues. Group H against Spain, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia is enormously challenging, but Cape Verde's spirit and organisation have toppled bigger nations before - their debut marks a proud moment for African football.
