The main stage of the 2026 World Cup has now narrowed down to a crucial phase. Four of the highest-ranked countries in the FIFA standings—France, Argentina, Spain, and England—are confirmed as the semifinalists for the matches taking place on July 15 and 16, 2026.
The journey to the final four was not easily achieved by these top-seeded teams. France advanced after defeating Morocco with a convincing 2-0 score. Meanwhile, Argentina, England, and Spain had to fight extra hard through fierce matches, with some even having to go through extra time to secure narrow victories over their opponents.
The first semifinal clash will present a prestigious duel between France and Spain. The match, which brings together two European football powerhouses, is scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium, Texas, on Wednesday (15/7/2026) at 02:00 WIB.
A day later, it will be England's turn to challenge the defending champions, Argentina. The match, highly anticipated for its prestige, will be held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Georgia, on Thursday (16/7/2026) at 02:00 WIB. The public now awaits whether the dominance of the European representatives will culminate in the final, or if Argentina can retain their title amidst the siege of formidable opponents from the blue continent.
