France has advanced to the 2026 World Cup semifinals following a 2-0 victory over Morocco. Kylian Mbappé and his teammates will compete for a place in the final on Tuesday, July 14, at Dallas' AT&T Stadium.
The opponent will be the winner of the quarterfinal match between Spain and Belgium. France's coach, Didier Deschamps, noted the team's consistent performance, stating, "That’s three semi-finals in a row. That’s already good. But even though it seems logical and natural for us to be here you still have to achieve it."
This marks France's third consecutive semifinal appearance in the World Cup. Historically, France has faced both potential opponents in previous tournaments. They defeated Spain 3-1 in the round of 16 in 2006. Their World Cup history with Belgium includes three previous encounters, with France winning all of them, including a 1-0 victory in the 2018 semifinals.
