World Cup Schedule: Semifinal Matchups Revealed

After a three-year, 206-team qualification campaign and a 32-team tournament, only four squads remain in the 2022 World Cup.

Three of the four teams are familiar to this stage. Argentina has made five trips to the tournament semifinals, including titles in 1978 and 1986. France, champions in 1998 and 2018, has been to six semifinals. Croatia has been twice, debuting with a third-place finish in 1998 and reaching the final in 2018.

Morocco, the surprise team of the tournament, is the first African team ever to reach the World Cup semifinals. Its previous best finish in a World Cup was 11th place in 1986.

Both semifinals will air on Fox over a two-day span.
