Lamine Yamal’s return reassures Spain as the team launches its 2026 World Cup campaign with ambition, while FIFA reverses its decision to allow Spanish in press conferences.
Spain began its 2026 World Cup with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, a surprise result that cut against the anticipation of Lamine Yamal's return to the squad. French sports outlets picked up the upset at once, framing it as a shaky start for one of the tournament favorites.
Spain's next group match becomes a test of recovery; Yamal's sharpness and whether the attack can break down a set defense will decide if the draw is quickly forgotten or becomes an early warning sign.
