World Cup has a decisive sixth (26th) with Spain, France and Uruguay; see agenda

The 2026 World Cup reaches the final round of Groups H and I this Friday (26), with four matches that define important positions for the knockout stages. While France and Norway compete for the lead in the group, Uruguay and Spain face a decisive battle for a place in the next phase.

In Group I, Norway and France enter the field already classified and fight for first place. Both teams have six points. France leads the group with an advantage on goal difference after beating Senegal 3-1 and Iraq 3-0. Mbappé and Haaland will be face to face in the dispute for leadership.

In the other group game, Senegal and Iraq try to achieve their first victory in the tournament and still dream of ranking among the best third-placed teams.

In Group H, Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia face each other in search of classification. Closing the day's schedule, Uruguay and Spain face off in Guadalajara.

The Spanish only depend on a good result to confirm their leadership, while the Uruguayans need to score to avoid an early elimination. Uruguay arrives with two draws in two games, still without winning in the tournament. Spain started with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, but reacted in the second round with a 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia.
