New journey, new goals, same ambition

With smiles and the excitement of a new challenge ahead, the 25 players called up by head coach Sonia Bermúdez arrived at the team residence in Las Rozas ahead of upcoming fixtures against Iceland and Ukraine.

The reigning UEFA Women’s Nations League champions return home after lifting the trophy on 2 December, now with a fresh objective on the horizon: securing qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil and defending the world title they won in Australia and New Zealand in 2023.

The opening two matchdays of the qualifying campaign will take place during this first international window of the year. Spain face Iceland on 3 March in Castellón, before taking on Ukraine on 7 March in Antalya, Turkey.

Excitement and nerves were evident among the debutants, who are experiencing their first senior international training camp. The squad reunites on home soil with their suitcases packed full of ambition.

Bermúdez and her coaching staff personally welcomed each player on arrival before they settled into their rooms and began preparations for the evening training session, scheduled for 19:00 on Pitch D.

Ranked No. 1 in the FIFA standings and holders of both the World Cup and the Nations League titles, Spain begin a new chapter — with a very clear destination programmed into the GPS: Brazil 2027.
