Spain national football team

The Spain national football team (Spanish: Selección Española de Fútbol) has
Spain
represented Spain in men's international football competitions since 1920. It is
governed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation, the governing body for football
in Spain.

Spain is one of eight national teams to have been crowned world champions and has
participated in a total of 16 out of 22 FIFA World Cups, winning the 2010 edition,
and qualifying consistently since 1978. Spain has participated in a total of twelve out
of seventeen UEFA European Championships, winning their first in 1964, and are
the current European champions, having won a record fourth title in 2024. After
their victory in the 2023 UEFA Nations League they became the second national
team, following France, to win three major titles (World Cup, European
Championship and Nations League). Spain is also one of only two nations to have
won both women's and men's World Cups, alongside Germany.[4]

History stadium

Spain has been a member of FIFA since its FIFA code ESP
founding in 1904, even though the Spanish
Football Federation was first established in 1909.
The first Spain national football team was
constituted in 1920, with the main objective of
finding a team that would represent Spain at the
Spain national football team in the 1920 Summer Olympics held in Belgium in that
1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp same year. Spain made their debut at the
tournament on 28 August 1920 against Denmark, First colours Second

matches in a single European Championship tournament.[40] They also set a new 1920 Antwerp Team
record of 15 goals scored in a single European Championship. Spain's performance
during this European Championship led to some dubbing this as the start of a new "golden era" for Spanish football,
pointing at the young age of its new team.[41][42][43][44][45]

Nicknames
Spain's team was known in the past by some fans as "La furia española", 'the Spanish Fury'; this nickname was originally
given by a Dutch newspaper, recalling the "Sack of Antwerp" – an episode in the military history of Spain.[46] More
modernly, the team is called "La roja", 'the Red (squad)'. [1]
Style of play
Between 2008 and 2012, the team played a style of football dubbed 'tiki-taka', a
systems approach to football founded upon the ideal of team unity and a
comprehensive understanding in the geometry of space on a football field.[47]

Tiki-taka has been variously described as "a style of play based on making your way
to the back of the net through short passing and movement",[48] a "short passing style
in which the ball is worked carefully through various channels",[49] and a
"nonsensical phrase that has come to mean short passing, patience and possession World Cup champions parade
above all else".[50] The style involves roaming movement and positional interchange celebrate as they pass in front of the

touch passing.[52] Tiki-taka is "both defensive and offensive in equal measure" – the
team is always in possession, so doesn't need to switch between defending and
attacking.[53] Commentators have contrasted tiki-taka with "Route One
physicality"[48] and with the higher-tempo passing of Barcelona and Arsène Wenger's
2007–08 Arsenal side, which employed Cesc Fàbregas as the only channel between
defence and attack.[49] Tiki-taka is associated with flair, creativity, and touch,[54] but
can also be taken to a "slow, directionless extreme" that sacrifices effectiveness for
aesthetics.[50]

Tiki-taka was successfully employed by Spain to win Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup
and Euro 2012. The 2008–12 teams are regarded as being among the greatest of Spain, UEFA Euro 2008 winners
international teams in football history.[7][5][6]

They have the Barcelona "carousel" of Xavi and Andrés Iniesta augmented
by Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso in midfield.

— Phil McNulty of the BBC on the midfield players at the heart of Spain's
tiki-taka passing style of play.[5]

Sid Lowe identifies Luis Aragonés' tempering of tiki-taka with pragmatism as a key
factor in Spain's success in Euro 2008. Aragonés used tiki-taka to "protect a defense
that appeared suspect [...], maintain possession and dominate games" without taking Spain's players celebrate winning
the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
the style to "evangelical extremes". None of Spain's first six goals in the tournament
came from tiki-taka: five came from direct breaks and one from a set play.[50] For
Lowe, Spain's success in the 2010 World Cup was evidence of the meeting of two
traditions in Spanish football: the "powerful, aggressive, direct" style that earned the
silver medal-winning 1920 Antwerp Olympic team the nickname La furia española
('The Spanish Fury') and the tiki-taka style of the contemporary Spain's team, which
focused on a collective, short-passing, technical and possession-based game.[55]

Analyzing Spain's semi-final victory over Germany at the 2010 World Cup, Raphael
Honigstein described Spain's tiki-taka style as "the most difficult version of football
Spain, UEFA Euro 2012 winners
possible: an uncompromising passing game, coupled with intense, high pressing".
For Honigstein, tiki-taka is "a significant upgrade" of the Netherlands' Total Football
because it relies on ball movement rather than players switching position. Tiki-taka allowed Spain to "control both the
ball and the opponent".[53].

Spain held possession of ball more than their opponents in all matches from 2008 to
2024, a record of 136 games.[56]

We have the same idea as each other. Keep the ball, create movement
around and off the ball, get in the spaces to cause danger.

— Xabi Alonso (Spanish midfielder).[52]

Kits and crest Spain, UEFA Euro 2024 winners

Spain's kit is traditionally a red jersey with yellow trim, dark blue shorts, and black
socks, whilst their current away kit is all predominantly yellow. The colour of the
socks altered throughout the 1990s from black to the same blue colour as the shorts, matching either the blue of the
shorts or the red of the shirt until the mid-2010s when they returned to their traditional black. Spain's kits have been
produced by manufacturers including Adidas (from 1981 until 1983), Le Coq Sportif (from 1984 until 1990) and Adidas
once again (since 1991). Rather than displaying the logo of the Spanish Football Federation, Spain's jersey traditionally
features the country's coat of arms over the left side. After winning the 2010 World Cup, the World Cup winners badge
was added to the right side of the jersey and a golden star at the top of Spain's coat of arms.

Home stadium
Spain does not have a designated national stadium. The capital city of Madrid (Bernabéu and Metropolitano), Seville
(Pizjuán, Villamarín and La Cartuja), Valencia (Mestalla and Orriols) and Barcelona (Camp Nou and Montjuïc), are the
four Spanish cities that have hosted more than 15 national team matches, while also being home to the largest stadiums
in the country.[59]

Other friendly matches, as well as qualifying fixtures against smaller opponents, are played in provincial stadia. The 2018
FIFA World Cup qualification campaign included matches at the Reino de León in León,[60] Los Cármenes in Granada,
[61] El Molinón in Gijón,[62] and the Rico Pérez in Alicante.[63]

Media coverage
Spain's UEFA European Qualifiers and UEFA Nations League matches, are televised nationwide by La 1, flagship
television channel of the public broadcaster TVE.[64]

Rivalries
Spain has rivalries with the other four "Europe's Big Five" nations and with their Iberian neighbors.

▪ Their rivalry with Portugal, also known as the Iberian Derby, is one of the oldest football rivalries at a national level. It
began on 18 December 1921, when Portugal lost 3–1 to Spain in Madrid in their first ever international friendly game.
Portugal lost their first matches, with their first draw (2–2) only coming in 1926. Portugal's first win came much later
(4–1) in 1947. Both belong to the strongest football nations of the world, and have met a total of 40 times (of which 11
matches were competitive) which resulted in 17 victories for Spain, 17 draws and 6 victories for Portugal.
▪ Their rivalry with France, also another major football force, is also one of the oldest at a national level. Spain and
France have met a total of 36 times, beginning with a 4–0 triumph for Spain in a friendly in Bordeaux on 30 April
1922, though their first competitive meeting came in the UEFA Euro 1984 final, which France won to take over its first
major international honours.[65][66] Spain has the advantage in head-to-head competition with 17 wins, 13 losses and
7 draws.
▪ Their rivalry with Italy, sometimes referred to as the Mediterranean Derby,[67] has been contested since 1920.
Although the two nations are not immediate geographical neighbours, their rivalry at international level is enhanced
by the strong performances of the representative clubs in UEFA competitions, in which they are among the leading
associations and have each enjoyed spells of dominance.[68][69] Since the quarter-finals match between the two
countries at Euro 2008, the rivalry has renewed, with its most notable match between the two sides being in the
UEFA Euro 2012 final, which Spain won 4–0.[70][71] Spain has the advantage in head-to-head competition with 14
wins, 11 losses and 16 draws.
▪ Their rivalry with Germany is also one of the oldest at a national level. Germany and Spain have faced each other 27
times, starting with a 2–1 friendly victory for Spain on 12 May 1935 in Cologne. Spain only met a German side for the
first time in any competitive fixture in 1966, as part of the 1966 FIFA World Cup, where West Germany (competing
separately from East Germany at the time) came back to win 2–1.[72] Since the reunification of Germany in 1990,
Spain has remained undefeated in competitive fixtures against Germany, winning the UEFA Euro 2008 final 1–0, the
famous 6–0 rout in the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League A,[73] and most recently beat Germany 2–1 after extra-time in
the UEFA Euro 2024 quarter-finals. The head-to-head result is a tie with 9 wins each and 9 draws.

Competitive record

FIFA World Cup

Although often entering tournaments as one of the favorites, Spain have often been perceived as underachieving at the
World Cup.[88][89] Spain's first World Cup was in 1934. At that World Cup, Spain started their campaign by defeating
Brazil 3–1 to advance to the quarter-finals, where they lost to hosts Italy in a replay.[90] Before Spain's success in 2010,
their best result came in 1950, where they reached the last four. Spain were paired with the hosts Brazil, as well as
Uruguay and Sweden.[91] Spain managed a draw against Uruguay but defeats from Brazil and Sweden meant that Spain
would end up in fourth place.[91] At the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa, Spain became world champions for
the first time after defeating the Netherlands 1–0 in the final, becoming the eighth country to win the World Cup.[92][93]

UEFA European Championship

Spain have won the most UEFA European Championships (four titles).[94] La Roja are also the only nation to date to
have won consecutive championships. They have hosted the tournament once, in 1964 (one city was used to host games
at Euro 2020) and have appeared in a total of twelve tournaments.

The team won their first international trophy on home soil in 1964, defeating the Soviet Union 2–1.[95][96] Spain would
reach the final twenty years later in 1984, where they would lose the final to France. Spain would not reach the final again
until 2008, where they would defeat Germany 1–0. Four years later, Spain earned back-to-back titles, comprehensively
defeating Italy 4–0 in the final in Kyiv. It would take La Roja twelve years to reach another European final, doing so in
2024 against England, a match they won 2–1 to stand alone as the most successful national team in the competition's
history with four titles while at the same time becoming the first team ever to win all seven matches in a single
tournament[97].
