The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to be the biggest sporting event in history, with over 40 countries participating in the tournament. The competition will take place across six cities in Canada and Mexico from June 13th to July 7th, 2026.

One of the most anticipated events leading up to the World Cup is the draw for the group stage, which takes place on April 18th, 2022. This year's draw is particularly interesting due to the fact that it features two teams who have never previously met in the group stage of a major international tournament - Argentina and France.

Argentina has been one of the world's top football nations for many years, having won the Copa America three times in the past ten years. They also reached the final of the 2019 World Cup, where they lost to France. However, their form has not been at its best recently, with just one win in their last five matches.

France, on the other hand, have had a strong start to the season, winning their first four games of the UEFA Nations League and scoring 15 goals in the process. They were also victorious in the 2018 World Cup, beating Croatia in the final.

Both teams will be looking to make a statement in the group stage and could potentially advance to the knockout stages if they can perform well against each other. It remains to be seen how they will fare against each other, but one thing is certain - this draw promises to be a highly anticipated moment in the build-up to the World Cup.
