Since the World Cup winning campaign in 2010, Spain’s run in the tournament hasn’t been impressive. They were knocked out from the group stage in the 2014 World Cup following back-to-back defeats against Netherlands and Chile. The World Cup host Russia sent them home from the 2018 campaign from the Round of 16. Spain played in the semi-finals of the Euro 2020 (held in 2021), losing to Italy on penalties.
Luis Enrique’s men have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2022 directly from Group B in the UEFA region. They will visit Qatar in November with the mission of winning their second World Cup title.
