France vs Spain World Cup Semifinal Set, Argentina to Face England

Paris – The upcoming World Cup semifinals will pit France against Spain in the tournament’s first semifinal encounter, while Argentina prepares to face England in a renewed clash of historic rivals. Both matches are scheduled for next week at the Stade de France, with the French‑Spanish tie set for Tuesday and the South American‑European showdown slated for Thursday, determining the finalists for the championship final.

France enters the semifinal after a dominant group‑stage performance and a quarter‑final victory over Brazil, while Spain advanced by defeating Portugal in a tightly contested knockout match. Argentina, the defending champions, earned their place by overcoming the Netherlands, and England secured theirs with a win over Belgium. The pairings revive past World Cup meetings—France and Spain last met at the 2010 tournament, and Argentina and England’s rivalry dates back to the 1986 quarter‑final. Organizers expect high attendance and global viewership as the teams vie for a spot in the final, with the winners set to compete for the title next weekend.
