Seven members of Spain’s national football team and five top streamers will face off in a special Among Us session on Twitch. The event, led by Ibai Llanos and Auronplay, revives a pandemic-era gaming phenomenon with a new generation of champions.
Spain’s national football team is about to do something different. Seven world champions are logging into Twitch for a live Among Us match. This Sunday, sports and streaming will collide on the same screen. Ibai Llanos and Auronplay are running the show.
The lineup is stacked. David Raya, Yeremi Pino, Fermín López, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Pau Cubarsí, and Dani Olmo will play for the Selección Española. Five streamers—Agustín51, Ibai Llanos, Pereeira, Auronplay, and Pache—round out the group. Twelve players. One game. A few years ago, this would have sounded impossible.
Auronplay publicly revealed that the idea for this high-profile Among Us match came directly from Lamine Yamal, who insisted on assembling both top streamers and footballers for the event.
This isn’t just a throwback. In 2020, Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí were only 13. They watched Ibai and Auronplay play Among Us with Courtois, Kun Agüero, and Neymar. Now, those same kids are champions. They’re stepping into the game with the streamers they once followed. The pandemic made streaming a habit. Now, gaming and football are fused at the top level in Spain.
Ibai Llanos has spent a lot of time on YouTube lately. He’s coming back to Twitch for this. He wants to bring back the old Among Us energy. Auronplay says Lamine Yamal pushed for the event. The new football stars aren’t just watching—they’re shaping the digital world they grew up with.
The match starts at 21:45 in Spain. Latin American viewers get their own times. Each streamer will use their own channel. It’s not clear if all the footballers will stream from their own accounts. Fans might get a rare look inside the national team’s game. That’s a big draw.
According to Mundo Deportivo and AS, this event is not a one-off occurrence but part of a broader trend: Spanish national team players have recently appeared on Twitch in informal formats, reflecting a growing convergence between football and streaming culture. Ibai Llanos and Auronplay, who remain among the most-followed Spanish-speaking streamers, help explain the event's massive reach and its status as a notable media phenomenon.
Organizers say the event is informal. There could be last-minute changes or delays. Most of the players aren’t pro streamers. Still, the lineup is set. Fans are excited. It’s rare to see these names together online.
Spain’s footballers have made headlines for their choices off the field too. As reported earlier, Unai Simón keeps his old Range Rover even after winning the world title. This Twitch event shows how Spain’s sports stars are changing what it means to be public figures in 2026. They move between stadiums and streaming with ease. They’re open to new ways of connecting with fans.
But this isn’t just about novelty. It’s a generational shift. The same players who watched Ibai and Auronplay as kids are now leading the story. Gaming is their bridge. They’re linking their football success to the digital communities that follow them. This isn’t a step back. Spain’s champions are making new rules—on the field and online.
