At a pre-match press conference ahead of Spain's match against Austria, Spain coach de la Fuente directly named Colombia as a contender for this FIFA World Cup title. Although Colombia's best performance in FIFA World Cup history was reaching the quarterfinals at the 2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup, de la Fuente still favors them.

De la Fuente stated: "We've only lost two matches, and one of them was against Colombia. Honestly, if I hadn't included Colombia among the title contenders before, I'm adding them now."

"This team is exceptionally strong, with outstanding players, excellent physical condition, lightning speed, and remarkably high technical ability. Their attacking lineup alone speaks volumes. This is a truly powerful national team."
