The Spanish National Team made official the dorsal number of the 26 internationals summoned to play the World Cup in Qatar. The distribution of the numbers was organized based on seniority in the selection. This circumstance has caused that, despite the fact that Pedri is called to be one of the great references of the Spanish team, he chose from the last ones opting for the number 26, a number that he already wore in the European Championship.
Ansu Fati, the great novelty of Luis Enrique Martínez's call for Qatar, will wear the 25, while Nico Williams will play his first major competition with Spain with the 12. The little brother of the Williams played his first international matches with the number number 2 that in Qatar is from Azpilicueta. Hugo Guillamón will do so with number 15 and Carlos Soler with 19. While Gavi, the youngest of all the internationals, will play with number 9 and Eric Garcia with number 3.
Luis Enrique's classics maintain theirs. Morata will wear number 7, Ferran Torres will wear 11, Koke will wear 8 and Jordi Alba repeats with 18. Gayà, just like in Valencia, will wear 14. There were no doubts about the goalkeepers. Unai Simón, the national team's starting goalkeeper, will wear 23. Robert Sánchez will wear 1 and David Raya will wear 13.
For his part, Sergio Busquets, the only international who knows what it means to win a World Cup, will continue to defend number 5. The Spanish captain debuted with number 16 in the World Cup in South Africa and kept it in Brazil. Since the 2018 World Cup in Russia and before that in the 2016 European Championship in France, the azulgrana has worn the 5.
The Spanish National Team is already concentrated in Las Rozas to start working towards the World Cup in Qatar. Those summoned by Luis Enrique have been arriving at the headquarters of the Federation during the morning and have already set to work.
