Revolution in the Selección española. A new path opens for La Roja on their journey towards the 2027 Brazil World Cup. With Cata Coll, Mapi León and Aitana Bonmatí sidelined, in addition to the absences of Irene Paredes and Jenni Hermoso, coach Sonia Bermúdez has put together a squad of 25 players with many young talents. In goal, the two major new additions are Misa Rodríguez, who hasn't played for Spain since the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and Enith Salón. Both are world champions. Meanwhile, in defence, Aiara Agirrezabala makes her debut, having shone in Liga F Moeve on Real Sociedad's left flank. Additionally, Sandra Villafañe, a centre-back for Madrid CFF, and Martina Fernández, who plays for Everton, are the other new additions.
