The 2026 World Cup has entered its decisive stage, as the list of teams qualified for the semifinals is complete, in an exceptional scene that brings the tournament back to the memory of its historic glories, as the competition for the title is confined to four teams that have previously ascended the World Cup podium, ensuring that the current edition will crown a new world champion with a rich history.

France, Spain, Argentina, and England have imposed themselves on the golden square after a strong run in the tournament, confirming that experience and footballing heritage remain decisive factors in the knockout stages. This scenario is rare, as the semifinals have only included four former champions in the 1970 and 1990 editions, before the picture repeats itself at the 2026 World Cup.

Attention turns to an anticipated European clash between France and Spain, a match that carries shared ambitions of reaching the final. The French 'Les Bleus' seek to continue their presence among the world's elite, while the Spanish national team aims to reclaim the glory of its historic 2010 title.

The second match brings together defending champions Argentina and England in one of the most anticipated games of the tournament, given the long history between the two teams and their shared desire to reach the final. The 'Tango' seek to retain the title, while the English look to end a wait that has stretched since their sole triumph in 1966.
