Spain and Chile have announced their rosters for the Davis Cup qualifying tie scheduled for September 19 and 20 at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago. The winner of the tie will qualify for the Davis Cup Finals in Bologna, Italy.

Both teams will be missing key players due to injury. Spain will compete without Carlos Alcaraz, leaving 19-year-old Rafael Jódar to lead the squad. Chile will be without Nicolás Jarry, who confirmed he is sidelined by a persistent elbow injury that has made his recovery slower than expected. Jarry intends to support captain Nicolás Massú from the sidelines while working on a recovery plan to return to competition later this year.
