Spain Maintains Unbeaten Streak, Eyes 2026 World Cup Qualification

As of November 14th, 2025, Spain's national football team is firmly committed to securing their place in the 2026 World Cup. Under the leadership of manager Luis de la Fuente, the European champions have been impressive in their qualifying campaign, winning all four matches and scoring 15 goals without conceding any.

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi has emphasized that the team's focus remains on qualification, rather than being distracted by the label of favorites. Zubimendi attributes Spain's success to the strong bonds formed among the players over the past two to three years, stating that their tight-knit unit has helped the team play more freely and cohesively.

Mikel Merino has been a standout performer, leading Spain's scoring with six goals in the qualifiers. Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedri have also played crucial roles in the team's impressive run, which has seen them match their longest unbeaten streak in competitive matches at 29 games.

Despite this achievement, Zubimendi remains cautious, stressing the importance of qualifying first before thinking about the World Cup itself. "It's the trophy that proves you're the best in the world," he stated. "First, we have to qualify. And then, when it really matters, we have to be on point."

As Spain prepares for their final qualifying matches against Georgia and Turkey, the team continues to build on its strong foundation of player relationships and tactical prowess. Their focus remains clear: to secure their place in the 2026 World Cup through teamwork, determination, and a relentless pursuit of success.
