The Spain World Cup qualifiers campaign is going on in great fashion. La Furia Roja notched up their fourth consecutive win by winning the Spain vs Bulgaria game 4-0 on Tuesday, October 14. They thus almost ensured their qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
The Spain World Cup qualifiers campaign has seen them play four matches so far, and they have managed to win each of those matches. The European champions have scored 12 goals and conceded none in what can be called an excellent run. Qualifying for the World Cup now seems only a matter of time.
Spain World Cup Qualifiers Campaign: An Extension of Euro 2024 Form
Spain won Euro 2024 as the deserving team, beating England in the final. They have continued in great manner, reaching the final of the UEFA Nations League in 2025 last summer and losing to Portugal on penalties.
The Spaniards continue to define the standard of excellence in European football and are comfortably the best team in the continent.
They have a few excellent players in their team such as Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Martin Zubimendi, and scorers in the Spain vs Bulgaria win, Mikel Merino and Mikel Oyarzabal, who would walk into most of the other teams in Europe.
It is simply unthinkable that the Spaniards are able to perform without any hassles, even in the absence of players like Rodri, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams. They should be fit for the 2026 World Cup, however.
While Germany have shown inconsistent form, England have had selection issues despite showing excellent form, and Portugal have scraped through, the sailing has been very smooth for Spain. The Spaniards have been redefining football with the passing football professed by FC Barcelona during the last two decades or so.
The focus of the Germans seems to have been wavering during the past few years, which means Spain are the most consistent football nation in Europe now. Unlike the Germans in recent times, Spain keeps making statements with their football on the pitch only.
Top Spanish managers like Pep Guardiola, Andoni Iraola and Mikel Arteta have exerted their influence in English club football during the last decade or so.
If there is anything equivalent to imperialism with regard to philosophy in football, the Spanish are simply the most influential in exercising it. Almost every team in England wants to play out from the back and create moves slowly with short passes.

Two Games To Go And Two Points To Go
Spain will play against Georgia and Turkiye in their next two World Cup qualifiers. Getting even just two points out of those matches will ensure 2026 World Cup qualification. However, Luis de la Fuente’s team will want to maintain their perfect record.
The Spaniards have won the World Cup once, back in 2010. Winning another in 2026 is definitely within their reach. Their last World Cup triumph involved players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Xabi Alonso, David Villa and Sergio Ramos.
Their current team is also loaded with quality players all around, and De la Fuente’s job will be to ensure that complacency does not get the better of his team.
As of now, Spain look all set to make a serious case for themselves to win the upcoming World Cup. The Spain World Cup qualifiers campaign has demonstrated that they mean business, and it will be a difficult job for any other team to stop their juggernaut next year.
