Spain takes on Iraq at the Estadio Riazor on Thursday, June 4, in an international friendly as both nations continue their preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

La Roja arrive as the reigning European champion after cruising through qualifying, though it may be without star winger Lamine Yamal, who is still recovering from a hamstring issue.

Iraq, meanwhile, is in a confident mood after progressing through AFC qualifying and overcoming Bolivia in the intercontinental play-offs to book its place at a first World Cup since 1986.

Even so, Luis de la Fuente’s side—among the tournament favorites—will be expected to have too much quality for Graham Arnold’s team, while also looking to prove it can cope without Yamal and make a statement ahead of the tournament.

Here’s how you can watch Spain vs. Iraq.
