Still raring to go - Spain vs Czechia

Having won every trophy available over the past four years, it is by no means easy for the Spanish national team and De la Fuente to remain at the top during a period when national teams are at their most competitive. To achieve this, they need to keep their motivation at the highest level at all times. Having won the World Cup just two months ago, they need to be mentally very strong to stay motivated for a group stage match in the Nations League, even against a rival like England. Demonstrating that they possessed this mental strength at Wembley, the Matadors dominated the first and final half-hours of the match. For De la Fuente's players, who have no intention of relinquishing the top spot, mental strength will once again be the priority in what, on paper, might appear to be their easiest match. This match will also serve as an indicator of how much longer the Spaniards - who are already more than capable in terms of player quality - can sustain this determined attitude.

Oviedo, European City of Sport

Having been selected as Europe's City of Sport for 2026, Oviedo will have the opportunity to host the World Champion national team once again after 11 years. 2026 also marks the 100th anniversary of Real Oviedo, who currently compete in La Liga 2. Having spent just one season in La Liga after returning to the top flight 24 seasons later, the blue-and-whites - who finished last season at the bottom of the table and were mathematically relegated with three weeks remaining - have missed out on the chance to play in La Liga during their centenary year. Although the city of Oviedo, home to one of the country's most passionate sets of supporters, will not be able to watch their team in La Liga this season, they will have the chance to support their national side in such a match.

Spain vs Czechia tickets

Having started their Nations League campaign with a home defeat to Croatia, the Czechia - who need extra points to stay in League A - struggled to create enough chances against Croatia. Although they created few chances, the quality and threat level of those they did create were high, and the Czechs managed to secure a 1-1 draw through Karabec from one of those few opportunities. With 20 minutes remaining, the Czechs squandered a chance to take the lead through Radosta, who was making his international debut; although they thought they had secured a draw through their 25-year-old striker after falling 2-1 behind, an offside call at the start of the move dashed their hopes. The Teplice striker, who brought real dynamism to the game despite wearing the national team shirt for the first time at the age of 25 - and for just 24 minutes - will be hoping to get a chance to play in the match in Oviedo.
