After the last World Cup in Qatar 2022, the European powerhouse arrives in 2026 as a genuine title contender: two-time world champion and used to dictating games through possession and sheer quality in the final third.
On the opposite side, La Albirroja keeps the flame of the South American school of intensity, defensive solidity and lethal counterattacks alive, the same trademark identity that in 1998 took the French to an epic duel decided by a golden goal.
Technical brilliance and firepower versus work rate, discipline and tactical steel. In a group stage where every single point can be the difference between going through or going home, this showdown promises to be a high‑voltage battle from the very first whistle.
For almost a decade now, the French side has relied on a golden generation used to playing finals, with Kylian Mbappé as the attacking spearhead of a national team firmly established at the top of the FIFA rankings.
On the other side of the pitch, the Guaraní side pins its hopes on the leadership of Gustavo Gómez, the driving runs of Miguel Almirón and the fearless talent of Julio Enciso to once again go toe‑to‑toe with a football aristocracy that already knows what they’re made of.
Don’t watch this from afar: be there live for this World Cup clash between Europe and South America and witness a brand‑new chapter of football history being written.
