FC Barcelona, with eight footballers, is the team that contributes the most to the Spanish national team call‑up for the Under‑17 World Cup, according to Javier Gascón's Instagram post. The post confirmed that the tournament will be held in Morocco from October 17 to November 7, following the recent Under‑20 title at the World Cup in Poland.

Spain, under the direction of coach Mila Martínez, has been placed in Group F alongside Mexico, Australia and Chile. The call‑up totals 21 footballers who will gather in Málaga for a pre‑tournament camp.

Camp in Málaga and friendlies

The camp will begin on Monday, October 5 in Málaga, where the squad will play two friendlies against Japan before traveling to Morocco on October 15. These matches will serve to fine‑tune the team's tactics and cohesion.

Spain's goal is to secure its third world title, after the triumphs in 2018 and 2022, and to reinforce the relevance of the Barça Play project as a revenue stream, according to Paloma Mikadze.
