Spain set world record — 43 matches unbeaten
A 2-0 victory in the Czech Republic on 14 November 2026 extended Spain’s unbeaten run to 43 matches, a new world record.
Spain extended an unprecedented unbeaten run to 43 matches after a 2-0 win away at the Czech Republic in the UEFA Nations League on 14 November 2026.
Under coach Luis de la Fuente, the reigning European and world champions added another clean sheet to a sequence that began on 26 March 2024, when Spain drew 2-2 in a friendly with Brazil.
The last full defeat before this streak came a few days earlier in a friendly against Colombia, when Muñoz scored for the South American side. Spain later lost the 2025 Nations League final to Portugal on penalties after the 2-2 draw in regular time, so that match did not end the unbeaten run in normal time.
Record and context
The new world record of 43 consecutive matches without a defeat surpasses the previous mark of 37 set by Italy under Roberto Mancini. The sequence highlights Spain’s consistency across friendlies, Nations League ties and competitive fixtures.
De la Fuente’s team now face the challenge of maintaining the streak while balancing tournament priorities and squad management ahead of upcoming fixtures.
