Spain unbeaten streak record: Inside La Roja's record-tying 37-match run without a loss since 2024

1 hour ago 3

For just the second time in the country's history, Spain has earned a spot in the World Cup final. Along with the 2026 achievement, the win over France also tied Italy's 37-match unbeaten streak for the longest in soccer history.

The Spanish side has not lost an international match in regulation since March 26, 2024, when it was upset by Colombia in an international friendly. Spain's success, at the moment, looks like it's here to stay, with youngster Lamine Yamal serving as the catalyst.

Spain now has the chance to both win the 2026 World Cup and break Italy's unbeaten streak at the final whistle of Sunday's final.

Here's the rundown on how long it's been since La Roja has been on the losing side of a match.

Longest unbeaten streaks in soccer history

Prior to Spain's victory over France, Italy had reigned supreme in international soccer with the longest unbeaten streak. The Italians achieved a 30W-0L-7D record over 37 games spanning from October 2018 to October 2021. Their streak included the 2021 Euro and may have started a tradition.

Inside Spain's streak is the 2024 Euro, which served as Lamine Yamal's first international trophy. La Roja's streak will look to continue, as they have a chance to officially break Italy's 37-match streak with a win in the 2026 World Cup final.

Here's a look at the international teams with the longest unbeaten streaks:

Last time Spain lost a match

Spain's last loss in international soccer came against Colombia on March 22, 2024. During an international friendly, La Roja lost 1-0 to the South Americans.

In the 61st minute, Daniel Munoz scored an absolute stunner. While in midair, the defender kicked a Luis Diaz cross past Spanish goalkeeper Alex Remiro. The Spanish had kept many of their usual starters on the bench as substitutes, with Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Pau Cubarsi all coming onto the pitch after 62 minutes of play.
