  SPAIN
 
 

The Spain national football team (Spanish: Selección de fútbol de España) represents Spain in international football and is controlled by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (Spanish: Real Federación Española de Fútbol, RFEF), the governing body for football in Spain.
 
The RFEF was founded in 1909, is member of the FIFA since 1913, and also a member of the UEFA since 1954. The first indicator of football's arrival was the formation of RC Recreativo de Huelva on December 23, 1889 by Dr. Mackey and British workers employed by the Rio Tinto Company. The Copa del Rey got started in 1903. The tournament was held as a league, in which three clubs participated: Club Español, Madrid FC, ​​Athletic Club, proclaiming this champion defeating in the final and deciding game 3-2 to Madrid FC. La Liga, first established in 1929, originally contained ten teams. The first champion of La Liga was Barcelona, the runner-up Real Madrid, and the third place Athletic Bilbao. Of the founding teams in La Liga, only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao (the top three of the first championship in 1929) have not been relegated.

Spain is currently one of the most successful teams in the world. The Spaniards have won one the World Cup title (2010) to become the first European team to win the title outside Europe as well as three UEFA European Championships (1964, 2008, 2012), and one Olympic Tournament (1992). Spain is now considered a true force in the European and world football.
