Spain’s men’s national football team is one match away from tying Italy’s all-time record of 37 consecutive unbeaten international matches. The opponent standing between La Roja and the history books? France, in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal.
The streak, which dates back to March 2024, reached 36 matches after Spain edged Belgium 2-1 in the quarterfinals on July 10. A win or draw against France would pull Spain level with the benchmark Italy set between 2018 and 2021.
Spain’s streak by the numbers
Spain’s 36-match unbeaten run spans over two years of international competition, encompassing friendlies, UEFA Nations League matches, Euro 2024, and now the 2026 World Cup.
The run has been characterized by defensive solidity, with multiple clean sheets throughout the streak.
