The Spanish National Football Team has now finalized its last friendly on home soil before the 2026 World Cup. Luis de la Fuente’s side will face Iraq next Thursday, June 4, at the Riazor Stadium in A Coruña.
A special farewell in Galicia
The agreement was sealed by the presidents of both federations during the 76th FIFA Congress. It will be the seventh time the national team has played in A Coruña, recalling the 5-0 thrashing of Iceland in 2022. The only previous meeting between the two sides dates back to the 2009 Confederations Cup, with Spain winning 1-0 thanks to a goal from David Villa.
Road to the World Cup
This match will serve as the lead-up to Spain’s official debut against Cape Verde on June 15 in Atlanta, marking the team’s second-to-last test before wrapping up its preparations on June 8 against Peru in Puebla.
