In reply to Sergio, my reference includes a section explaining that after all the 'sub' selecciones, we reach the 'selección absoluta', which is the senior team.

neutral  Sergio Kot: Please read carefully the entire explanation in your ref.
8 mins
  -> Please see my note and ref.

agree  ezpz: Reference is fine. This is the correct translation, because it specifically says the "top flight" team, differing it from Under-21's, Olympic Team, etc. The "main"/"regular" team when talking about it in the press, that go play the UEFA/FIFA matches.
17 mins
  -> Exactly, many thanks!

agree  Neil Ashby: I'm definitely used to hearing "senior" in football (basketball is a 3ry sport in the UK). We often just say the "national team" or sometimes the "full team" but both only as juxtapositions to "under 23s", "under 21s", etc.
37 mins
  -> Many thanks Neil!

agree  neilmac: Don't be sorry, but I'm not "wrong". Senior is technically correct, but nobody ever says it in real life.
5 hrs
  -> Sorry Neil, you're wrong - after graduating through the 'sub' teams, players end up in the senior team.//But if a questioner wants the translation of a word, we should provide it. No one says 'absoluta' in real life either, but that's the word in question

I don’t think you need to worry about the “absoluta” part, although you could probably use something like “top/ elite“… if you were really desperate to convey the notion.

Unlike ET, I don't think "senior" adds anything or cuts the mustard. We have the national team and then the "under 21s"... etc.
As the other Neil says below: -We often just say the "national team"- And I've never heard it called the "senior" team, in my six decades of existence.

25 mins
  -> Cheers :-)

agree  William Bowley: Agree that senior adds nothing. U21s could also be 'national U21s' but 'national team' alone is commonly taken as referring to the main national team.

neutral  Sergio Kot: Just XXXX (country) National Team
19 hrs
  -> Selección nacional (absoluta)=(Full) National Team. En los dos idiomas se sobreentiende que es la principal, pero en el contexto parece oportuno explicitarlo.

disagree  William Bowley: There don't seem to be any reliable sources amongst that stream of references. This is very evidently a non-native effort.
