Teams Remaining in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Semifinals

These final squads include some of the world's best players, such as France's Kylian Mbappe, Argentina's Lionel Messi, England's Jude Bellingham, and Spain's Lamine Yamal. Each star will aim to guide their team to victory, though they must first overcome one another in the upcoming matches.
