FIFA World Cup 2026: The FIFA World Cup 2026 is inching closer to its decisive phase as the quarter‑final stage continues with a marquee clash in Los Angeles on July 10. Spain and Belgium will battle for a coveted place in the semi‑finals. Both nations arrive unbeaten, each having topped their groups and advanced through the knockout rounds with contrasting styles.

Spain’s path has been marked by consistency and resilience. Luis de la Fuente’s side produced one of the standout performances of the Round of 32, sweeping aside Austria 3‑0. In the Round of 16, La Roja edged Portugal in a tense Iberian derby, with Mikel Merino’s stoppage‑time strike sealing victory. That result booked Spain a third consecutive knockout tie against European opposition, underscoring their strength in continental matchups.

Belgium’s journey has been more dramatic. The Red Devils staged one of the tournament’s most memorable comebacks in the Round of 32, overturning a 2‑0 deficit against Senegal to win 3‑2 after extra time. Their Round of 16 clash against co‑hosts USA proved more straightforward, as Charles De Ketelaere’s first‑half double set the tone for a commanding 4‑1 win in Seattle.

Belgium are contesting their third quarter‑final in the last four World Cups and their fourth overall. They defeated Spain at this stage in 1986 and Brazil in 2018, with a loss to Argentina in 2014 sandwiched between. Spain, meanwhile, have rarely thrived in the last eight, advancing only twice, in 1950 and during their triumphant run in South Africa in 2010.
