FIFA World Cup: The Spanish football federation has confirmed on Saturday that the team will play an extra warm-up match against Iraq ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will commence on June 12.

Spain's clash against Iraq will happen at the iconic Deportivo La Coruna's Riazor Stadium on June 4 and will serve as Spain's final match before traveling to Mexico, where they will face Peru in another preparatory fixture in Puebla, as reported by Xinhua.

Spain and Iraq have met only once before. That came at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, where Spain earned a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from David Villa.
