TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Portugal and Spain will renew one of international football's fiercest rivalries when they meet in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 on Monday, July 6.
According to USA Today, The all-Iberian showdown will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, one of the tournament's host venues in the United States, with a place in the quarterfinals at stake
Portugal advanced after edging Croatia 2-1 in the Round of 32. Veteran captain Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the tournament, while Croatia's hopes of forcing extra time were dashed by a controversial offside decision that disallowed what appeared to be a late equalizer.
Spain, meanwhile, delivered one of the most convincing performances of the Round of 32, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Austria. Mikel Oyarzabal netted twice as La Roja continued to build momentum after an increasingly impressive run through the tournament.
Below are the key match details, based on information reported by USA Today. Kickoff times for Indonesia have been converted to Western Indonesia Time (WIB), Central Indonesia Time (WITA), and Eastern Indonesia Time (WIT).

Match Preview

The 41-year-old remains the focal point of Roberto Martínez's attack, although Portugal needed a dramatic finish to overcome Croatia in a match overshadowed by a contentious VAR-assisted offside decision.
Spain appears to be peaking at the right time. After dominating Austria from start to finish, Luis de la Fuente's side heads into the Round of 16 as one of the tournament's most in-form teams. Oyarzabal's brace highlighted Spain's attacking depth, while their disciplined defense has continued to impress.
With two European heavyweights meeting in a winner-takes-all encounter, the Portugal-Spain clash is expected to be among the standout matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16.
