Soccer Spain Squad

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has announced his Nations League squad from Ceuta in a show of support for the Spanish city in northern Africa that has become the center of a migration crisis. For his first squad announcement since Spain won the World Cup, De la Fuente revealed his list in a video featuring him in Ceuta accompanied by residents of the Spanish exclave. In late July, over 70,000 people pushed across the border from Morocco, with more than 100 dying in the chaos. Most quickly returned, but a few thousand remain in the city of just over 80,000. Spain opens the Nations League against England at Wembley Stadium on Sept. 26,

Spain has agreed to extend the contract of World Cup-winning coach Luis de la Fuente until 2032. The Spanish soccer federation’s board of directors unanimously approved the contract extension on Monday. The new contract will keep De la Fuente in for the 2030 World Cup that Spain will co-host with Morocco and Portugal, and the 2028 and 2032 European Championships. De la Fuente led Spain to its second World Cup title in July. He has won 38 of his 50 games in charge of the main squad.
