Camacho named his squad for the two friendly matches against Brazil and Argentina next week. There were no new caps, not even for Rayo Vallecano players, but three old faithfuls, Abelardo, Ferrer and Alfonso come back into the squad after a long period away from the international scenario. Camacho also followed Ranieri's lead with his goalkeepers, replacing Atlético's Toni with his teammate Molina. Deportivo's César drops out of the squad. With two matches in a few days, 21 players were called up. The squad is as follows:

Keepers: Molina (Atlético de Madrid), César (Valladolid)

Defenders: Sergi and Abelardo (Barcelona), Aranzábal (Real Sociedad), Michel Salgado and Hierro (Real Madrid), Paco (Zaragoza), Ferrer (Chelsea)

Midfield: Guerrero (Athletic Bilbao), Valerón (Atlético de Madrid), Guardiola and Luis Enrique (Barcelona), Engonga (Mallorca), Mendieta (Valencia)

Forwards: Etxeberria and Urzaiz (Athletic Bilbao), Munitis (Racing), Raúl and Morientes (Real Madrid), Alfonso (Betis)

The beauty of being qualified already is that you have plenty of time to organise for the final phase. Spain have already booked their hotel for the championships, the chateau Holtmühle in Tegelen, near to Eindhoven, an old 14th century castle.

A strong squad was named for the vital under 21 match against Norway on 13th November. Jordi Ferrón of Rayo Vallecano was the only new cap, with many regular first division players in the 19 man squad. The full list is as follows:

Aranzubia and Lacruz (Athletic Bilbao), Capdevila and José Mari (Atlético), Gabri and Xavi (Barcelona), Sergio and Velasco (Celta), De Lucas, Tamudo and Velamazán (Espanyol), Luque (Málaga), Ferrón (Rayo), Ismael (Racing), Casillas (Real Madrid), Marchena (Sevilla), Albelda, Farinós and Gerard (Valencia).
