Spain Unveils Nations League Squad in Ceuta, Citing Migration Crisis Solidarity
Spanish football federation chose the North African enclave for the squad announcement in a gesture linked to ongoing border crossing difficulties.
Spain's national football team announced its squad for upcoming Nations League fixtures from Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the North African coast, according to Al Jazeera.
The choice of location was described as a gesture of solidarity with people affected by migration-related border crossing troubles in the area, the report said.
Al Jazeera noted that Spain, the reigning World Cup champions, opted for the symbolic setting rather than a conventional venue for the squad reveal.
Ceuta, along with Melilla, is one of two Spanish territories on the North African mainland and has long been a focal point for migrants attempting to cross into European Union territory.
Further details about the squad list itself and the specific migration issues referenced were not immediately available in the source report.
