Spain's national soccer team is set to officially debut its second star, commemorating their 2010 World Cup victory, on their new jersey during their upcoming UEFA Nations League match against England on September 26. The match will be held at Wembley Stadium.

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced that Luis de la Fuente's squad is placed in Group A3 of the Nations League, competing against England, Croatia, and the Czech Republic. Following the England fixture, Spain will host Croatia on September 29 in Seville and then face the Czech Republic on October 3 in Oviedo.

Spain, currently ranked No. 1 by FIFA, holds a favorable historical record against both Croatia and the Czech Republic. They have secured seven victories in eleven encounters with Croatia and remain undefeated against the Czech Republic, with five wins and two draws.

However, their record against England is more balanced, with Spain having won 11 matches and lost 13 out of 28 total meetings between the two nations.
