Awaiting the official schedule, which will be published this Saturday, and the definition of the last six qualifiers, via playoffs, <strong>Spain<\/strong> already knows the four rivals it will face in the first round.<\/p>  <p>Just like in 2010, La Roja will be seeded in <strong>group H<\/strong>. This time, the national team&#8217;s rivals will be <strong>Uruguay<\/strong>, <strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong>, and <strong>Cape Verde<\/strong>, three teams against whom Spain has never lost in international matches. The clash against the &#8216;charr\u00faas&#8217;, theoretically the most difficult, will be the last of the group stage.<\/p>  <h2>Cape Verde, Spain&#8217;s rival in their debut<\/h2>  <p>Luis de la Fuente&#8217;s team will debut against **Cape Verde**, one of the debutant teams and one that has never faced Spain in friendlies or official tournaments. After that, the reigning European champions will play against **Saudi Arabia**, a very competitive team that managed to surprise Argentina in their debut in Qatar 2022, although Herv\u00e9 Renard&#8217;s team did not advance to the round of 16<\/p>  <p>The two teams faced each other in the Germany World Cup in 2006, with La Roja winning by a landslide (4-0) in the group stage. Subsequently, the National Team also won two friendly matches played in 2010 (3-2) and 2012 (5-0).<\/p>  <p>Finally, Spain will close Group H against Marcelo Bielsa&#8217;s **Uruguay** and Ronald Araujo. La Celeste did not have a positive end to 2025 (they lost 5-1 to the United States in November), but they remain one of the most powerful South American teams.<\/p>  <p>The two teams have faced each other twice in World Cups (1950 and 1990), with both matches ending in draws (2-2 and 0-0). The last time Spain faced Uruguay in a FIFA tournament was in 2013, in the now-defunct Confederations Cup. La Roja won 2-1 in the group stage.<\/p>  <p><strong>Group H<\/strong> will play its matches in the venues of <strong>Miami, Atlanta, and Houston<\/strong> (United States) and <strong>Guadalajara<\/strong> (Mexico). Spain&#8217;s debut will take place on June 15 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.<\/p>  <h2>Spain&#8217;s World Cup Group Stage Schedule<\/h2>  <ol> <li> \t<p>June 15, 2026: <strong>Spain vs. Cape Verde<\/strong>.

Group H will cross paths with Group J in the first knockout stage.<\/p>  <p>This group is comprised of <strong>Argentina, Algeria, Austria, and Jordan<\/strong>, with the Albiceleste and reigning world champions as the main favorite. If La Roja were to finish second in their group, they would have a high probability of facing Argentina in the next phase.<\/p>  <p>On the contrary, if both selections live up to their favoritism and finish as leaders of their zones, they could only face each other in a hypothetical final.
