Borja Iglesias Named in Spain's World Cup Squad

Celta Vigo striker Borja Iglesias has been called up by Spain coach Luis de la Fuente for the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

The 33-year-old from Santiago de Compostela, currently in excellent form at Celta Vigo, is known for breaking footballer stereotypes. Iglesias actively speaks out against social injustices such as xenophobia, homophobia, and the Rubiales case. Despite the toll his activism sometimes takes in certain circles, his sporting performance has earned him a spot in the national team. wlop.pl

Spain will kick off their World Cup campaign next Thursday, July 11. Before the tournament begins, Iglesias will feature in a friendly match against Iraq today in A Coruña at 21:00.
