Spain and Saudi Arabia have locked horns on three previous occasions, and all three of their matches have been won by La Roja, including a clash at the 2006 World Cup.

La Roja recorded a 1-0 victory when the pair went to battle at the 2006 tournament, with Juanito scoring the only goal of the group-stage fixture.

The two teams have since met in friendlies, with Spain recording a 3-2 victory in May 2010 and then a 5-0 success in their last clash in September 2012.

Sunday's contest at the 2026 World Cup will represent just the second-ever competitive meeting between the two sides, and Saudi Arabia will be aiming for their first-ever win over Spain.
