The tournament is entering its final week, and two of Europe’s top teams are set to face off in the World Cup semifinals.
One of either France or Spain will secure the first spot in the final.
France, initially seen as the frontrunner, has maintained their unbeaten streak, following a 2-0 victory over Morocco in the quarter-finals, with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembele.
Spain also remains undefeated, although they started with an unexpected draw against Cape Verde. However, since then, they’ve only allowed one goal in five matches, including their recent 2-1 win against Belgium in the quarter-finals.
For viewers, here’s what to know:
- What: 2026 FIFA World Cup, semi-finals
