Lamine Yamal to Wear Number 19 Jersey as Spain Reveals 2026 World Cup Squad Numbers

The Spanish national team has announced their jersey numbers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Young star Lamine Yamal will not be wearing the iconic number 10 jersey, instead opting for number 19. Although Yamal began wearing the number 10 jersey for Barcelona starting this season, he will revert to his familiar number 19 jersey with the Spanish national team. He also wore number 19 when he helped Spain win the European Championship two years ago.

Spain’s prestigious number 10 jersey will be worn by Dani Olmo. After the squad announcement, Olmo hinted at this via social media. Meanwhile, Gavi has been assigned the number 9 jersey. Returning to the national team after nearly a year, Gavi has reclaimed his old jersey number.

Spain is placed in Group H and will begin their World Cup campaign on June 15 against Cape Verde. They will then face Saudi Arabia and Uruguay. Having won their first World Cup title in 2010, Spain aims to secure their second World Cup triumph in 2026.
