Spain and Portugal meet in one of the standout fixtures of the 2026 World Cup round of 16 on July 6 at Dallas Stadium, kicking off at 10:00 p.m. Cairo time.
Spain enter the match with confidence after a long unbeaten run and a strong defensive record, having not conceded a goal at this tournament before the tie.
Portugal need a major performance after some unconvincing moments, but they still carry elite experience through Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha.
The fixture also has a revenge angle after Portugal beat Spain on penalties in the Nations League final, giving Spain an extra emotional edge.
It is also a clash of generations, with Lamine Yamal representing Spain’s future and Ronaldo potentially approaching the final stages of his international journey.
