Spain’s squad announcement for the upcoming 17th UEFA European Championship is a testament to national pride and familial bonds. Rafael Nadal has been chosen to narrate this special moment, adding a layer of prestige. In the video below, our champ says:

“Each football match is more than a game; it is a shared moment, a connection that unites parents, children, friends, couples, and families. This year, the list of players who will defend the shirt of our team will be announced by the true pillars of the footballers: their families and friends. … With the support of an entire country, our players are going to Germany for the fourth Euro Cup. Vamos, España!”

GOALKEEPERS: Unai Simón (Athletic), David Raya (Arsenal), Remiro (Real Sociedad);

DEFENSORS: Carvajal (Real Madrid), Navas (Sevilla), Le Normand (Real Sociedad), Vivian (Athletic), Nacho (Real Madrid), Laporte (Al Nassr), Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen), Cucurella (Chelsea);  

MIDFIELDERS: Rodrigo (Manchester City), Zubimendi (Real Sociedad), Fermín (Barcelona), Fabián (PSG), Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad), Pedri (Barcelona);

ATTACKERS: Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Ferran Torres (Barcelona), Dani Olmo (RB Leipzig), Baena (Villarreal), Nico Williams (Athletic), Morata (Atlético), Joselu (Real Madrid), Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad), Ayoze (Betis).
