Spain and Belgium meet at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Los Angeles, on Friday, July 10 in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2026. A place in the last four is on the line, with the winner set to face either France or Morocco in Dallas on July 14.
Luis de la Fuente's Spain arrive as the tournament's most defensively composed side. They have not conceded a single goal across five World Cup matches, with goalkeeper Unai Simón establishing a new tournament record for consecutive minutes without being beaten. Mikel Merino's stoppage-time winner against Portugal in the round of 16 extended their unbeaten run to 35 games.
Belgium have taken a different route to the quarter-finals. After drawing their opening two group games against Egypt and Iran, Rudi Garcia's side found their rhythm with a 5-1 dismantling of New Zealand, then survived a 3-2 extra-time contest against Senegal before producing their most complete performance of the tournament — a commanding 4-1 defeat of tournament co-hosts USA in Seattle.
The Red Devils carry genuine attacking threat. They have scored 13 goals across their last five matches and have shown they can hurt teams from multiple positions. Jérémy Doku's pace wide, the physicality of Romelu Lukaku, and Kevin De Bruyne pulling strings in central areas give Spain's unbreached defence its sternest examination yet.
Belgium's preparation has been complicated by the ACL injury suffered by midfield anchor Amadou Onana during the win over the United States. His absence leaves a significant gap in their engine room, and a late fitness test is also expected for defender Zeno Debast.
Spain, by contrast, enter in near-perfect physical condition. Winger Nico Williams has been managing a minor knock but is expected to be available, while De la Fuente faces a welcome selection decision at right-back, where Marcos Llorente is pressing hard to start ahead of Pedro Porro.
