Argentina's Leandro Paredes, Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez laugh during a training session at the Atlanta United Training Centre in Marietta, Georgia, yesterday, ahead of the 2026 World Cup football final tomorrow.
The FIFA World Cup heads towards its final chapter this weekend, with Spain and Argentina set to battle for football’s ultimate prize tomorrow while France and England compete for the bronze medal today.
After a month of drama, surprises and unforgettable moments across the United States, Mexico and Canada, only four teams remain as the global showpiece prepares to crown its champion.
The final weekend begins with the third-place play-off today, where France and England will meet in a battle between two sides that came agonisingly close to reaching the final. For both nations, the fixture offers an opportunity to end their campaigns on a positive note after falling short in the semi-finals.
France’s hopes of reaching another World Cup final were ended by Spain, who produced a composed 2-0 victory in the last four to book their place in the title decider.
