With 48 teams competing and a grueling path through the knockout stage, reaching the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be an accomplishment in itself.
Only four nations will survive the tournament’s first 100 matches and earn a spot in the final four, putting themselves within two victories of lifting the most coveted trophy in sports.
On Thursday, France became the first nation to clinch a spot in the semifinals after its commanding 2-0 win over Morocco. Behind Kylian Mbappé’s eighth goal of the tournament and Ousmane Dembélé’s fifth, Les Bleus has reached its third consecutive semis appearance.
Then on Friday, with its 2-1 win over Belgium, Spain clinched its second semifinal appearance ever at the World Cup, last making it back in 2010 when it won the title.
And with that, the first semifinal matchup is set. France and Spain will face off in a heavyweight showdown in Dallas on Tuesday.
With two spots left, who will join them on Saturday?
