The FIFA World Cup 2026 will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, spanning 16 host cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The draw will begin on Friday 5th December as many teams wait to see who they will face in the opening stages.
Many predictions have already been made about the tournament and now Wenger has picked his favourites for the competition as he backs his home country.
"England are one of the favourites of the World Cup. They are always nearly there. And they have to make the step. They have the quality to win."
"By trying to be as objective as possible, I think France are the super favourites. Just for one reason," he argued. "They have more world-class strikers than any other country. To have such a bench and such quality will make the difference."
The two-time World Cup winners are one of only six sides to have been crowned champions on multiple occasions. Les Bleus won the tournament in 2018 and reached the final in 2022. Reaching the final once again will be the target for manager Didier Deschamps who will step down once the tournament ends.
France has appeared in every World Cup since 1998 and has won its group in three-straight trips to the tournament. Deschamps will expect nothing less than another final as they chase down their 3rd title.
