Levante: the La Liga club with fewest Spain internationals

Summarised by MatchPal
Levante has contributed only two players to Spain's national team in over a century, far fewer than Barcelona (147) and Real Madrid (130).
Over 870 footballers have represented Spain since the national team's debut at the 1920 Olympic Games. However, representation varies dramatically across Spanish clubs. Levante holds the record for the fewest international call-ups, with only two players ever debuting for the senior side: Ernesto Domínguez in 1963 and José Campaña in 2020.
Domínguez, known as the "Galgo de Vallejo", made history as Levante's first international in a friendly against Belgium that Spain lost 1-2. Campaña became the second when Luis Enrique called him up for Nations League matches in October 2020, debuting against Portugal in Lisbon.
The statistic is striking given notable players like Roger Martí, Vicente Iborra and José Luis Morales played for Levante without ever receiving a senior call-up. While Levante's record is the lowest, other clubs also lag far behind the giants: Elche has four internationals, Alavés seven, and Rayo Vallecano six.
Barcelona leads with 147 international representatives and Real Madrid second with 130, reflecting the historical dominance of Spain's two biggest clubs in supplying national team talent.
