FIFA World Cup: France vs Spain preview

France v SpainSemi-finalTuesday, 14 July | Dallas StadiumKick-off time14:00 (Dallas) | 21:00 (Paris) | 21:00 (Madrid)The matchFrance are just one game away from advancing to a third consecutive FIFA World Cup™ final, but in Spain they face the reigning European champions and a side also in impressive form.

Didier Deschamps’ side sauntered through the FIFA World Cup 2026™ group stage with three consecutive wins against Senegal, Iraq and Norway, before making equally short work of Sweden in the Round of 32.

This is only Spain’s third appearance in the final four, with La Roja making the final group stage in 1950 and becoming champions at South Africa 2010 — since when they have failed to progress to the latter rounds after being eliminated at the group stage in 2014 and Round of 16 at each of the past two editions.
