What was Spain's win-draw-loss record in UEFA qualifying Group E for the 2026 World Cup?

The story behind the answer

Spain’s UEFA qualifying Group E record for the 2026 World Cup was 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

Spain played six matches in the four-team group, facing Bulgaria, Georgia and Turkey home and away. It won its first five fixtures, including a 3–0 victory over Bulgaria, a 6–0 win in Turkey, a 2–0 home victory against Georgia, a 4–0 defeat of Bulgaria and a 4–0 win in Georgia.

The only dropped points came in the final match, when Spain drew 2–2 at home against Turkey. Even so, Spain finished first with 16 points and qualified directly for the World Cup, while Turkey advanced to the play-offs as runner-up.

The record is sometimes confused with a perfect 6–0–0 campaign because Spain went unbeaten and dominated most matches. But the Turkey draw matters: it changed the final record from six wins to five wins and one draw.
