  • Federation: UEFA

  • Spain joined the international community with their first international against Denmark during the 1920 Olympics held in Brussels. They won 2-1 but then lost the quarter-final to their hosts three days later. Spain kicked-off their matches with England with and impressive 4-3 win in Madrid. However, they were hammered 7-1 when the invitation was reversed two years later.
    Spain are rare victims of an English penalty shoot-out win. The quarter-final of Euro '96 at Wembley went to penalties as both teams played out a 0-0 draw. David Seaman was the hero as he saved Spain's last kick taken by Miguel Angel Nadal (the uncle of an even more famous Spanish tennis player).
    In recent years they were paired together in the inagural UEFA Nations League both winning their away games by the odd goal.
