In Dallas, fans from Spain and Mexico came together with a shared goal: to passionately support Spain's national team, "La Roja," as they competed in the 2026 World Cup semifinals. Thousands of Spanish supporters traveled from various cities across Spain, including Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville, to attend the match against France at the AT&T Stadium.

The atmosphere is incredible, especially with our Mexican compadres who are cheering for Spain, always in good spirits… there are more Mexicans in Spanish shirts than Spaniards, and that's appreciated.

Hours before kickoff, the stadium was awash in red, the color of the Spanish team, mingled with the Mexican tricolor. Many observed that Mexican fans were out in force, enthusiastically cheering for Spain. "The atmosphere is incredible, especially with our Mexican compadres who are cheering for Spain, always in good spirits... there are more Mexicans in Spanish shirts than Spaniards, and that's appreciated," one fan from Pamplona remarked with a laugh to EL UNIVERSAL Deportes.

Some Spanish fans described the difficulty in obtaining tickets but were motivated by Spain's quarterfinal victory over Belgium. One supporter from Seville shared, "We saw the opportunity and we had to come support Spain. I bought the tickets after Spain won on Friday, I was drunk and I bought them... life is too short and you have to do things, thanks to my wife for letting me come," he added cheerfully.

He stated, "An excellent, unbeatable atmosphere, there are many Spaniards. I am Mexican, we are eliminated, but here we are, supporting Spain because I really like how they play." He had attended all of Mexico's matches but felt compelled to come to this one.
