EUROPEAN heavyweights France and Spain will battle for a place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final when they meet in a highly anticipated semi-final clash at Dallas Stadium tonight at 21:00 Namibia time.

France are aiming to reach a third consecutive World Cup final, but face a confident Spain side that arrives as the reigning European champions and one of the tournament’s most impressive teams.

Didier Deschamps’ France have enjoyed a dominant campaign, winning all three of their group-stage matches against Senegal, Iraq and Norway before defeating Sweden in the Round of 32. Les Bleus overcame a determined Paraguay side in the Round of 16 before producing another strong performance to eliminate Morocco 2-0 in the quarter-finals.
