Spain recorded six clean sheets in its first seven matches at the 2026 World Cup.
Spain opened the tournament with three group-stage shutouts, then beat Portugal without conceding in the round of 32. Its quarter-final against Belgium was the exception: Belgium scored once, making it Spain’s only match in the tournament in which it allowed a goal through the first seven games.
Spain restored its defensive record with a 2–0 semi-final victory over France and a 1–0 extra-time win over Argentina in the final. That sequence produced six clean sheets from seven matches, not seven from seven.
A common mix-up is counting penalty shoot-outs or extra time separately. A clean sheet refers to conceding no goals in the match, regardless of whether the game lasts 90 minutes, goes to extra time, or is decided by penalties.
