The National Ranking 2025-2026 determines the selection by prioritizing the strategic development of the sub-16 category

The Royal Spanish Federation has defined the composition of the national teams of the class ILCA 4 that will represent Spain in the European Championship and the World Championship 2026, after completing the two punctuable tests of the National Ranking 2025-2026: the Spanish Cup ILCA 4, played at the Níutic Vilanova Club, and the Spanish Championship ILCA 4, organized at the CAR Infanta Cristina by the Federation of Sailing of the Murcia Region.

The ranking, published on 12 February, establishes the definitive order of the Spanish regatists in class ILCA 4 and serves as the basis for the configuration of the national teams in the next World (in Aarhus, Denmark, from 1 to 9 August) and European (in Murcia, from 11 to 18 April).

In line with the sport planning of the RFEV, the strategy in class ILCA 4 is primarily focused on the development of the sub-16 category, considered a key step within the formative path towards high performance. For this reason, the international selection has been structured according to the performance of the sub-16 regatists within the national ranking.
