Spain announced its final 26-member squad for the Euro 2024 in a press release on Friday. The European Championship is scheduled to take place in Germany and begin on June 14.
Spain roped in Rafael Nadal, 22-time Grand Slam Champion, to reveal the names of the Spanish team.
“There is no better narrator for this video than someone who knows A LOT about WIN: @RafaelNadal.“
Pau Cubarsi, Aleix Garcia and Marcos Llorente were dropped from Luis de la Fuente’s side, which aims to lift a fourth Euro trophy – a feat that no team has achieved so far.
The team does include Manchester City midfielder Rodri and Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella. 16-year-old Lamine Yamal has been given the nod while Fermin Lopez and Ayoze Perez will debut in their first ever major tournament with La Roja.
