The team played for the first time in July 2015 in the European Games of Sarteano, Italy.[1]
Origins
In 2015, with the Association Quidditch Spain recently created and with the announcement of the celebration of the first European Games, the first Spanish national team to take part in this competition was created.
2015 European Games
The Spanish Inquiddsition in this competition was unsuccessful. The bets were not in favour of the team, but they had a better than expected performance. They played in the group B beside Belgium, Catalonia, France, Poland and Turkey.[2][3] They ranked ninth in the championship, without qualifying for the quarter-finals, and winning only in the inaugural game against Poland.
2016 World Cup
On March 29, 2016, the Asociación Quidditch España published the roster for the Spanish national team for the 2016 IQA World Cup.[4] On June 25, 2016, the IQA released the pool play draw, where Team Spain was assigned to pool C with United Kingdom, Turkey, South Korea and Austria.[5]
