Opponents against those who have never played

Spain had the problem of isolation under General Franco's dictatorship. “Europe ends at the Pyrenees” was the saying in those days. Sweden, England, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, France and Germany had all played more than 700 internationals matches by 2001. Spain only 454 matches.

Only national football teams from Europe and these teams from other Confederations which had played in at least one FIFA World Cup.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ A draw counts as a ½ win
  2. ^ Representing West Germany from 1949 to 1990
  3. ^ Representing Yugoslavia from 1920 to 1992, FR Yugoslavia from 1993 to 2000, and Serbia and Montenegro from 2003 to 2006
  4. ^ Representing Czechoslovakia from 1920 to 1992
  5. ^ Representing Soviet Union from 1922 to 1991, and SCIS from 1991 to 1992
  6. ^ The game between Equatorial Guinea and Spain in November 2013[3] was declared void by FIFA a month later due to a procedural error in confirming the use of a local referee.[4] However, the RFEF includes the match and player statistics in its records, and these are usually counted in other sources (e.g. Juanfran Torres scored his only international goal in the fixture).[5]
  7. ^ The match between Jordan and Spain on 17 November 2022 will not count as an official friendly. The reason for that is because the Spanish FA and FIFA have agreed to increase the number of substitutions each team can make so that Spain's players are fresh for the start of the World Cup.[6]
  8. ^ Appearances in FIFA World Cup
  9. ^ The matches between Gibraltar and Spain are restrictioned for political reasons
  10. ^ The matches between Kazakhstan and Spain are restrictioned for excessive travel distance in UEFA qualification phases
