Argentina and Spain Set to Clash in Historic World Cup Final

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has reached its semi-finals stage, setting up an exciting final match between Argentina and Spain.

Spain's win over France on July 14 in Dallas was a clinical one, with Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro scoring the goals that sealed their place in the finals. Argentina, meanwhile, came from behind to beat England 2-1 in Atlanta, thanks to late goals from Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez.

This World Cup is already historic, with a record 48 teams competing across three nations: Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

FIFA's decision to build its own blockchain platform using Avalanche technology signals a shift towards more permanent crypto partnerships. The organization has moved away from renting space on other blockchains and is now running its FIFA Collect NFT platform directly.
