Two-time champions France are set to clash with 2010 winners Spain in an all-European FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final at the Dallas Stadium on Wednesday. France, aiming for a third consecutive final, will face a formidable Spain side, the reigning European champions, and in good form. France has had a strong run in the tournament, winning all their matches so far, while Spain overcame a slow start to find their rhythm and progress to the semi-finals.

On the other hand, Spain faced initial challenges but improved, securing wins against Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, and Austria. Late goals have been crucial for Spain, with Mikel Merino making significant impacts off the bench in the previous rounds.
