Sonia Bermúdez Reveals Reason for Aiara's Absence

Sonia Bermúdez announced the Spain women's national team squad for the 2027 World Cup qualification phase. The squad will contest a direct group‑leadership duel against England on 5 June at 21:00 in Son Moix, Palma de Mallorca. Four days later, on 9 June at the same hour, Spain will travel to Reykjavík to face Iceland. The England fixture determines which side leads the group. Both matches are part of matchdays 5 and 6 of the qualification campaign. The Reykjavik match will be played in the capital city’s main stadium. The kickoff time mirrors the earlier game, 21:00 local time. Aiara is absent from the announced list. Bermúdez publicly disclosed the reason for the omission and wished Aiara good luck. The squad publication marks the final preparation stage before the June double‑header. Spain will seek to secure the top position before the qualification round concludes. Success in the two June fixtures will shape Spain’s path toward the 2027 World Cup. The team will aim to maintain momentum into the remaining qualifiers.
