European champions Spain begin their World Cup preparations with a friendly against tournament debutants Iraq on Thursday.
Luis de la Fuente's side conquered their continent with a superb showing at Euro 2024 and have designs on going all the way in North America.
Since La Roja's first and only World Cup triumph in 2010, they have largely flattered to deceive. They failed to emerge from the group stage at Brazil 2014 before suffering penalty shootout defeats to hosts Russia and Morocco at the first knockout stage in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
Iraq emerged from March's inter-confederation playoff as they stunned South American favorites Bolivia 2-1 in Monterrey.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
