Zinedine Zidane, the former French football star and potential future coach of the French national team, is set to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, July 20, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The match, scheduled for 3:00 PM local time (9:00 PM French time), will feature Spain against Argentina.
According to sources close to the player, Zidane will be in the VIP section of the stadium. His presence comes amid ongoing speculation about his possible appointment as the next head coach of the French national team, following Didier Deschamps' tenure.
Zidane, who led Real Madrid to three consecutive Champions League titles, has been linked to the France job for months. However, no official announcement has been made by the French Football Federation.
The World Cup final is expected to draw a global audience, with both Spain and Argentina boasting strong squads. Zidane's attendance adds to the star power of the event.
