Football fans' eyes turn today (Tuesday) at 10:00 PM to the Dallas Stadium in Texas, USA, which hosts one of the strongest matches of the 2026 World Cup, as the French and Spanish teams meet in the semifinals, in a clash that many describe as an "early final" given the high technical value both sides possess.

Both teams enter the match with shared ambitions of reaching the final, having delivered impressive performances throughout their journey in the tournament, confirming their status among the top contenders for the global title.

Spain seeks to continue its dominance over France in recent encounters, having knocked out the "Roosters" from the semifinals of the 2024 UEFA European Championship with a 2-1 victory, before going on to win the title. They also repeated their success in the semifinals of the 2025 UEFA Nations League with a thrilling 5-4 win, after a match filled with excitement where Spain led 5-1 before France narrowed the gap by three goals in the final minutes.

On the other hand, the French team is looking to break their semifinal curse against the "Matador" and avenge their last two defeats, while also recalling their historic superiority in the World Cup, as they previously defeated Spain 3-1 in the Round of 16 of the 2006 World Cup, in the only encounter between the two teams in the tournament's history.

The importance of the match increases with the intensifying competition for the title, as the winner awaits the victor of the other semifinal between Argentina and England, in a much-anticipated final that promises a lot of excitement.
