When are the World Cup semi finals 2022? Dates, kick-off times and teams

The World Cup is coming to a close and their are only four games left; two semi-finals followed by a third-placed play-off and then the grand final.

Many of the favourites have fallen by the wayside such as Spain, Germany, and England and now only four remain. Morocco secured their place in the final by dispatching Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal side while on the other side of the draw Croatia proved their pedigree on the international stage once again by overcoming Brazil.

France led by Kylian Mbappe and Argentina led by Lionel Messi make up the final four, but who will make the final?

Argentina vs Croatia

The first World Cup semi-final will see Argentina meet Croatia on December 13th at 7pm. Fans in the United Kingdom will be able to watch the game on ITV or ITV Player.

Argentina and Croatia previously met in the 2018 World Cup group stages, where the European side came out thanks to goals from Ante Rebic, Luka Modric and the now-retired Ivan Rakitic. Messi will be hoping for a better result on Tuesday if he is to cap off his international career with a World Cup title.

France vs Morocco

On the other side of the draw France faces Morocco. The African-Arabian side has made waves getting this far in the competition becoming the first team from the CAF confederation to make the semi-finals.

Sofyan Amrabat has been their star man with stand-out performances from Achraf Hakimi and Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech as well. But current holders France are in the hunt for a back-to-back title.

Their semi-final will be played on Wednesday 14th December at 7pm. The game will be available to watch on BBC 1 and BBC iPlayer.
