The World Cup 2026 semi-finals are set, and one of the standout ties pits France against Spain for a place in the final. The match is scheduled for July 14 at Dallas Stadium.
Didier Deschamps’ France side reached the last four by beating Morocco 2-0 in the quarter-finals, with Kylian Mbappe continuing to lead the line as one of the tournament’s top scorers. Spain, managed by Luis de la Fuente, arrive unbeaten through the knockout stage, having eliminated Austria, Portugal and Belgium on their way to the semi-final.
Both nations have won a World Cup within the last decade and both possess squads capable of controlling matches through midfield, setting up what should be one of the most tactically fascinating games of the tournament. Mbappe has been in exceptional form throughout the knockout rounds and will be central to France’s hopes, while Spain will look to their trademark passing game to control tempo against a dangerous French counter-attack.
The winner will advance to face either England or Argentina in the World Cup final on July 19. VIRA Broadcasting will bring updates and analysis as kickoff in Dallas approaches.
