How many players are Spain allowed to take to the 2022 World Cup?
National managers were allowed to bring 26 players to last summer’s European Championship for the first time at a major tournament, as a special measure introduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It has now been announced that 26-man squads will return for the Qatar World Cup, an extension of the usual 23-man squads.
When will Spain’s final squad for the 2022 World Cup be announced?
The 2022 World Cup will take place from November 21 to December 18, 2022.
While hosting the next World Cup is a break from the traditional football calendar, World Cup teams are usually announced around six weeks before the start of the tournament.
This may change with club football being played closer to the tournament start date.
Who will be in the final squad for the Spain 2022 World Cup?
Barring injuries or bans, we expect a few players to be dead certs for Luis Enrique’s final squad for the 2022 World Cup in Spain.
The likes of Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Koke are still going strong; each of the three will expect to have a reserved seat on the plane to Doha next November.
Alvaro Morata retains his manager’s confidence despite some inconsistent performances, while Barcelona duo Gavi and Pedri will expect to be involved provided they stay fit.
