Most bookmakers make Spain the favourites to lift the trophy and, with such a wide array of talent at their disposal, it&#8217;s easy to see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a host of world class players available within the Spanish squad, featuring Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Rodri to name just a few. However, perhaps the biggest news from the squad announcement is the absence of a single Real Madrid player for the first time in history.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1381273\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1381470\"\n    >\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#01644a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/29162841\/bet365.svg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Bet365 Logo\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">bet365<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use code SQUAWKA365 and bet \u00a310 to get \u00a330 in free bets<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use code SQUAWKA365 and bet \u00a310 to get \u00a330 in free bets<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"in-content-single-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Offer<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">9.5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/bet365-review\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Bet \u00a310 get \u00a330<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Excellent Football Betting Options<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Extensive Bet-Builder<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Multi-Award Winning Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>New customers can sign up using bonus code SQUAWKA365, bet \u00a310 and get \u00a330 in Free Bets.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spain head into the World Cup as the favourites to lift the trophy for a second time following their maiden success in 2010. With good reason too, they have a squad jam-packed with talent and experience, who two years ago were crowned champions of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spain have been drawn in Group H, with their tournament beginning on 15th June against newcomers Cape Verde, followed by Saudi Arabia on 21st June, before what looks likely to be their toughest test of the group stage against Uruguay on 26th June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/spain-world-cup-2026-odds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spain World Cup 2026 odds<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-three-players-to-look-out-for-this-summer\">Three players to look out for this summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lamine-yamal-barcelona\">Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spain\u2019s superstar has already played a pivotal role in the country\u2019s Euro 2024 triumph where he was named Best Young Player, now the 18-year-old is targeting glory on a global scale with World Cup favourites Spain. Yamal heads to North America on the back of a fantastic season for Barcelona, where he scored 24 goals and carved out 18 assists in 45 games. His record for Spain currently stands at six goals and 12 assists in 25 games, which he\u2019s sure to enhance this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pedri (Barcelona)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yamal\u2019s club and international teammate Pedri is a key figure in Spain\u2019s midfield. He is the player who makes the side tick, using his intelligence, movement and control to link play and dictate the rhythm of matches. He was unfortunate to pick up an injury in the Euro 2024 quarter final win over Germany, which saw him miss the final two matches, meaning he\u2019ll be extra hungry for glory this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rodri (Manchester City)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-\">Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d\u2019Or winner, endured a disrupted campaign at club level, with injuries limiting him to just 21 Premier League appearances. He will be keen to rebuild his sharpness in the warm-up friendlies ahead of the World Cup, as on his day he remains arguably the finest holding midfielder in world football.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?
