Spanish football has now reached new heights. Spain has just won the 2026 World Cup. In the process, it has been continuously achieving success not only in men's but also in women's and age group football. There are two main reasons for this, the first is that it has not stuck to its strategic identity, and the second is following the plan to develop collective talent.

The Spanish men's team is not only the World Cup, but also the European champion. Spain also became the Olympic gold medalist. In the meantime, it has reached the Nations League final twice and won once. It is also the World Cup champion for women. Two-time Nations League winner. The same team also played in the 2025 European Championship final.

Thus, Spain has become the first team to win the men's and women's World Cups at the same time. Similarly, Spain has recently won many competitions in age group football for men and women. Spain won the World Cup for the first time in 2010 with the help of the golden generation. Its members were Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, etc.

Even after they took their leave, the men's senior team has been winning continuously. The current generation of players are Lamine Yamal, Pau Kubarsi, Rodri, Ferran Torres, etc. They represent the new generation. They have brought Spain back to the top of world football. Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente says, 'Looking back, I get very emotional. We are getting stronger.'

Spain, the 2010 World Cup winners in South Africa, could not go beyond the last 16. Since Fuente came to power in 2022, Spain has put up a strong challenge in almost every competition. That's right, the number of times this Spanish team has been undefeated has also reached a record 38 games . The biggest feature of the current Spanish team is to emphasize collective performance . 

It does not rely only on star players . Accordingly, Spain's defense is strong . The process of maintaining maximum control over the ball is also ongoing . Fuente says, 'We played against the best team in the world, we were also excellent . I am proud of the players of this generation .' 

Is there any secret behind this success of the Spanish team ? The answer has been given by former French player Thierry Henry . He said, 'You have to get to work . A country has to play in the same style in all types of football . That is why Spain is now dominating football, be it men's or women's or age groups .' 

After Spain lost to Morocco in the 2022 World Cup, the then coach Luis Enrique was removed. He was replaced by Fuente. His profile was relatively weak, but the Spanish Football Federation knew him well. The reason for this was that Fuente had good experience working in Spanish age group football. Again, the Spanish Federation had also implemented the same process at all stages of its football, which also helped young players play in the same way.

Tikita's style won the title in the 2010 World Cup. The same process was also applied in the 2008 and 2012 Euros. But after that, some weaknesses were seen in the performance of the Spanish team, and it was criticized and said that this style would not be effective. But Spain never abandoned its style of playing with excessive control of the ball and maintained it.

Recently, Spanish coaches have also dominated world football and some of them have been very successful. Such as Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique, Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery, Xavi Alonso, Roberto Martinez, etc. All of them have proven that the Spanish style of playing football is excellent for now. Spanish football itself is going through a path of amazing success.
