- On Tuesday, Spain defeated France 2-0 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, advancing to the 2026 World Cup final. Mikel Oyarzabal's 22nd-minute penalty and Pedro Porro's 58th-minute goal secured the victory.
- Spain entered the semifinal boasting the tournament's best defense, conceding only one goal across six matches. France arrived as the highest-scoring team with 16 goals, setting up a classic unstoppable-force-meets-immovable-object clash.
