A fierce battle between the Big Four
Global network Opta has revealed a rare number for the 2026 World Cup, after the top four teams in the FIFA World Rankings were included in the semi-finals.
In the current rankings, France are ranked first in the world, followed by Argentina in second, Spain in third and England in fourth, making the tournament a unique event that has not taken place since the official FIFA rankings began in 1994.
The two semi-final matches bring together France and Spain in a fiery European summit, while Argentina meet England in one of the most exciting World Cup games from a historical and public perspective.
This figure reflects the extent of the dominance imposed by the mainstream teams on the current edition of the World Cup, as no surprises managed to reach the semi-finals, unlike previous editions which saw the arrival of teams from outside the traditional categories.

Observers believe that the presence of the world’s top four players in the semi-finals gives the tournament an exceptional character and forces the path to the title to pass through the strongest teams on paper, raising the prospect of two decisive encounters before the highly anticipated final.
