Casillas Assured That Spain Will Defeat France And Secure A Place in the Final of the FIFA World Cup 2026
Spain dreams of repeating the feat of 2010, and Casillas assures that La Roja will defeat France to reach the final of the 2026 World Cup.
The legacy of 2010 as a source of hope
Iker Casillas, the captain who lifted the World Cup in South Africa 2010, was once again the star in Dallas as he recalled that historic achievement and assured that Spain has everything it takes to beat France in the semifinals. At an event organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the former goalkeeper conveyed a message full of pride and hope, recalling La Roja's only World Cup star and envisioning the possibility of adding a second.
The champions' support for La Roja
Casillas spoke on behalf of his former 2010 champion teammates, including Jesús Navas, Pepe Reina, and Fernando Llorente, who were also present to support Luis de la Fuente's team. "We are convinced that Spain will be in the final again," he said firmly, emphasizing that all the members of that golden generation always tried to excite a country and make it proud of its national team. The former goalkeeper described the day as "a very special day," as Spain is once again playing in a World Cup semifinal, a stage that inevitably brings back memories of magical and wonderful moments that marked their careers

A message of hope and unity
Casillas's speech not only appealed to nostalgia, but also to confidence in the present. "We are convinced that tomorrow we will be in the World Cup final again and dream of embroidering a second star on the jersey," he said, making it clear that there is complete faith in the current team. He concluded by expressing gratitude on behalf of all the champions. The presence of iconic figures reinforces the spirit of unity and confidence that surrounds La Roja in the run-up to a highly demanding match against France, with the hope of writing a new chapter in World Cup history still intact
