WASHINGTON: The full lineup for the FIFA World Cup round of 16 has been confirmed.
The tournament is being held in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Colombia became the last team to advance after defeating Ghana 1-0 in the round of 32. The South Americans will face Switzerland in the round of 16 on July 7 in Vancouver.
The remaining round of 16 fixtures are: Canada vs. Morocco (July 4, Houston), Paraguay vs. France (July 5, Philadelphia), Brazil vs. Norway (July 5, East Rutherford), Mexico vs. England (July 6, Mexico City), Portugal vs. Spain (July 6, Arlington), the United States vs. Belgium (July 7, Seattle), and Argentina vs. Egypt (July 7, Atlanta).
The tournament features 48 teams for the first time, meaning the knockout stage began with the round of 32 rather than the round of 16, as in previous editions. The final is scheduled for July 19. Argentina is the defending world champion.
