The 2023 FIFA World Cup currently ongoing in Australia and New Zealand has reached the semi-final stage and all four teams have emerged.
Spain, Sweden, Australia, and England are the last teams left in the tournament.
Spain booked their place in the semi-final after defeating the Netherlands in extra-time, and Sweden followed suit much later after beating Japan by 2-1.
Japan’s elimination meant that there will be a new champion in this edition in Australia and New Zealand as all past winners have been sent packing.
Hosts Australia eliminated France after an agonizing penalty shootout. The match ended goalless after extra time and was settled from the spot, with the shootout going to a 10th kick. England meanwhile complete the semi-final line-up by beating Colombia 1-2.
The first semi-final between Spain and Sweden will be played on Tuesday 15 August at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, kicking off at the local time 8 p.m. NZST (4 a.m. EDT / 1 a.m. PDT) or 10:00 hours CEST for viewers watching in Spain or Sweden.
Australia will tackle England in the second Semi-Final on Wednesday 16 August at Accor Stadium (Stadium Australia), Sydney.
