Spain faces Iraq at the Estadio Riazor on Thursday, June 4, in an international friendly as both sides continue their build-up to the 2026 World Cup.
La Roja come in as the defending European champions after breezing through qualification, though they could be missing key winger Lamine Yamal, who remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.
Iraq, meanwhile, enters the match in high spirits after advancing through AFC qualifying and defeating Bolivia in the intercontinental play-offs to secure their spot at a first World Cup since 1986.
Nonetheless, Luis de la Fuente's squad—considered among the tournament's top contenders—will be heavily favored over Graham Arnold's side, while also aiming to demonstrate they can function without Yamal and send a message ahead of the competition.
