World Cup favourites Spain get their tournament underway on Monday evening as Luis de la Fuente’s side face off against Cape Verde in Atlanta.
Spain dominated in qualifying as they won five of their six outings on their way to securing a World Cup spot. They also scored an impressive 21 times and conceded just two in that period.
The European champions, who won Euro 2024 after beating England in the final, won the World Cup in 2010 but they only made it to the round of 16 at the last two tournaments.
