What does a World Cup player carry in his suitcase?
Borja Iglesias, soccer player for the Spanish national team, got ready for the 2026 World Cup with coffee, video games and other objects
The 2026 World Cup will begin in the coming days. The European clubs undertake their trip to the United States, Canada and Mexico, depending on each particular case. Borja Iglesias, soccer player for the Spanish national team, revealed what objects he included in his suitcase.
In an interview published by EFE, Borja Iglesia mentioned three essentials for the trip with the Spanish team. The veteran forward prioritizes his taste for coffee, video games and photography.
“I'm taking my set to make filter coffee, which I will share with whoever likes it, a camera, I always carry one, and the Nintendo to play Mario Kart,” said the striker.
The 33-year-old forward will have his first experience in a World Cup. But Borja Iglesias does not allow himself to be influenced by anxiety. The Celta de Vigo attacker prioritizes collective well-being.
"We don't choose the times. I want to score a goal, but I agree not to and that everything goes well," he clarified.
Memories of South Africa 2010
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Spain won the first and so far only World Cup in its history. That World Cup sounded to the rhythm of the Colombian singer Shakira. 16 years later, the World Cup once again has the same voice. The memories are pleasant for the Spanish team.
"I have seen it because my friends have commented on it. But in the locker room, people are thinking about the path we have and what we have to focus on. That is very good, it is fun, but then the path is more difficult," he said.
The Spanish team was placed in Group H of the World Cup. The “Roja” will debut on Monday, June 15 against Cape Verde at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The group is completed by the teams of Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.
