Opponents against those who have never played

Spain had the problem of isolation under General Franco's dictatorship. “Europe ends at the Pyrenees” was the saying in those days. Sweden, England, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, France and Germany had all played more than 700 internationals matches by 2001. Spain only 454 matches.

Only national football teams from Europe and these teams from other Confederations which had played in at least one FIFA World Cup.

Notes

Spain refused to travel to the Soviet Union for their qualification quarter-final, so Spain were disqualified and the Soviet Union were awarded a walkover victory.
A draw counts as a ½ win

The game between Equatorial Guinea and Spain in November 2013[3] was declared void by FIFA a month later due to a procedural error in confirming the use of a local referee.[4] However, the RFEF includes the match and player statistics in its records, and these are usually counted in other sources (e.g. Juanfran Torres scored his only international goal in the fixture).[5]
