Spain booked their semi‑final spot with a 2‑1 win over Belgium, while France advanced after a 2‑0 victory against Morocco.

He urged his players to keep working to overcome the French challenge. The article does not specify the exact date or venue of the semi‑final, though the 2026 tournament is being hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
