False Rumor
Spain not participating in the 2026 World Cup is a false rumor. You should know that the decision to take part in a World Cup is not made by the Spanish government, but by the Royal Spanish Football Federation, which operates under FIFA. Spreading these rumors may generate many clicks, but they are not true, since this claim does not come from the RFEF.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: There are rumours that Spain national football team are reportedly considering withdrawing from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after escalated diplomatic tensions following recent comments by Donald Trump about Spain.
Trump has openly criticised Spain after Madrid refused to allow US military aircraft access to Spanish bases for operations linked to the conflict in Iran. During a press conference, he said:
“Spain has been terrible… We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain.”
Trump also claimed that Spain “has absolutely nothing that we need,” although he praised the Spanish people.
The Spanish Football Federation is said to be assessing its options in light of the diplomatic fallout, though no official decision has been confirmed. 🇪🇸⚽️
