England and France Clash in FIFA World Cup 2026 Bronze Final

England and France will face each other in the bronze final of the FIFA World Cup 2026 after both teams lost in the semi-finals. France, led by coach Didier Deschamps, hopes to secure a medal after a strong tournament performance, including a 3-1 victory over Senegal and a 3-0 win against Sweden.

Kylian Mbappé is in contention for the Adidas Golden Boot, needing to add to his current tally of eight goals. England, having experienced a dramatic journey, including a 4-2 win over Croatia and a comeback against Mexico, aims to claim the bronze medal for the third time, having previously lost to Italy in 1990 and Belgium in 2018.

The last encounter between the two teams was during the 2022 Qatar tournament, where France won 2-1. This match marks the 33rd meeting between England and France in World Cup history.
