Spain are favourites to win the 2030 World Cup after their 1-0 win over Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final.
bet365’s Steve Freeth said: "Spain did start this tournament as 9/2 favourites, but some mediocre early performances saw them overtaken by France.
"They certainly warmed to the task of being pre-tournament favourites and we are giving them that status again – especially with them as one of the co-hosts with the World Cup split between Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
"We’ve been made to pay by writing off Lionel Messi before this year’s showpiece, and maybe we’re taking a chance by going 12/1 about Argentina going one better in 2030, but surely even a super-human Messi can’t continue to pull the strings at a ripe old age of 43.
"Fellow co-hosts Portugal might benefit from the departure of Roberto Martinez, as well as Ronaldo, while we’re giving England an 8/1 quote as we wait for the dust to settle on another frustrating major tournament."
After something of a lull following the transition from their golden generation, Spain have been extremely difficult to beat in major tournaments. In 2018, they controversially parted ways with Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the tournament and suffered a penalty shoot-out exit to hosts Russia, before going out via spot-kicks in 2022 to surprise package Morocco.
In the Euros, however, Spain lost on penalties in the semi-finals in 2021 and of course won in 2024, making their lost knockout stage defeat back in Euro 2016.
France's all-star front line ultimately came up short on the big occasion, but they'll no doubt have a litany of talent with Zinedine Zidane expected to take charge from Didier Deschamps, and are second favourites.
