World Cup 2026 quarterfinals: Full schedule and Egypt FIFA dispute

World Cup quarterfinals are set, with eight teams advancing as Egypt’s FIFA controversy and VAR decisions prompt debate.

The FIFA World Cup quarterfinal lineup is complete after a dramatic round of 16 that delivered late comebacks, penalty shootouts and major upsets.

France, Morocco, Norway, England, Spain, Belgium, Argentina and Switzerland have all secured their places in the last eight, with four blockbuster quarterfinals set to be played across the United States.

Off the pitch, however, the tournament continues to be overshadowed by controversy, as Egypt alleges officiating bias following its defeat to Argentina and FIFA faces renewed scrutiny over decisions involving the USA team and intervention by US President Donald Trump.
