AS: Spain plans for 2030 with a championship-winning squad; all 13 players will be under 30 by then.

Spain's four-year plan already includes a championship-caliber squad: 13 players will still be under 30 years old by then, with Yamal and Cubas both being 23.

According to AS, when De la Fuente was repeatedly asked during the World Cup about topics such as "nobody remembers the runner-up," he always said that he "doesn't like to give platitudes."

But if this team really has a slogan, it might be "Win, win, and win again."

Although still a long way off, the next World Cup will be exceptionally special for two reasons. First, Spain will defend their title and strive to add a third star to their jersey. Second, the tournament will be held on home soil. This launches the 2030 plan. By then, the Spanish team will have as many as 13 players aged 30 or under. Zubimendi and Cucurella will also be just over 31. Spain's present is its future. Particularly noteworthy are Yamal and Cubasi, both only 23 years old at the time, who may already be playing like veterans in that tournament.

This is historically rare. Looking further ahead, they might still be at their peak in the 2042 World Cup, only 35 years old then. Kubasi was just named the best young player of this World Cup, and Yamal is now considered one of the best players in the world.

By then, they might have made over 300 appearances for Barcelona. However, no one wants to say goodbye to this core group of players too soon.

Unai Simon, Laporte, Rodri, Fabian, Cucurella, and Olmo certainly knew they had seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, were at their peak, and capitalized on it. But a World Cup on home soil, with the support of their fans, could also be the most important World Cup of their careers. This will motivate them to extend their national team careers and pursue new goals. Players like Eric, Gavi, Pedri, Fermín, and Baena will all be at their ideal age by then. If the goalkeeping position changes hands—Unai has stated he doesn't see himself selected for the 2030 World Cup—Joan García will be 29 by then. The future is visible in almost every line of the pitch.
