The Spain 2024 Olympics squad has been confirmed, as the nation looks to go one better than the silver medal they achieved at the 2020 Olympics.
After Euro 2024 glory, Spain head into the Paris Olympic Games full of confidence, with the squad even containing two players involved in the tournament, too. Both Alex Baena and Fermin Lopez were part of the Spain squad that triumphed in Germany, and have decided against taking a holiday as they instead focus on gold.
Baena came off the bench twice in the group stages, while Lopez managed just 28 minutes against Albania in the groups, too. They will be joined in the Spain Olympics squad by three overage players, who are Juan Miranda, Sergio Gomez and Abel Ruiz.
Teams at the Olympics are allowed three players born before January 1, 2001. The three aforementioned stars all have good pedigree, with Miranda having just completed a move from Real Betis to Bologna, Gomez a Manchester City squad player and Ruiz a striker who has just swapped Braga for Girona.

Former Manchester City defender and current Barcelona player Eric Garcia is also in the squad, who spent last season on loan at Girona. Garcia's side actually finished above Barcelona last season, highlighting how strong the 23-year-old can perform.
Pau Cubarsi, the 17-year-old defender who broke into the Barcelona first team last season, is also included in the team managed by Santi Denia. Denia is a key individual in the development of young players within the Spanish FA, having worked in the U17s, U19s and is now the current U21 manager, too.
His youth sides have always performed strongly reaching four European Championship finals and one U17 World Cup - though he's only managed to win one of the Euros. This summer's Olympics offers another great opportunity for Denia to right those wrongs with his Spain squad.
