Spain won the tournament. They beat Argentina 1-0 in the final on 19 July 2026, after extra time.
South Africa went further than ever before. Mexico won the opening match 2-0. Czechia drew 1-1 with Bafana. Then South Africa beat the Republic of Korea 1-0. That put Bafana second in Group A and into the round of 32. Canada won that match 1-0 with a goal in stoppage time.
Everything below was written after the tournament ended. There are no odds on this page. There are no predictions either, because the tournament is finished.
Your account setup matters more than the bet you pick. Some readers left their FICA checks until matchday. The queue is what stopped them, not the odds.
A welcome offer is only as good as the bets it lets you make. Several offers running through June set a minimum odds rule. Some blocked the exact bet types that a big tournament makes popular.
Our apps guide still works now that the final is played. None of it was about the tournament. Account setup, verification, deposits and withdrawals do not change when a competition ends.
The pools run every week and never go out of date. They are Soccer 6, Soccer 10, Soccer 13, Soccer 13 Extra and MatchPlay 13. We rebuild each card, cut-off and pot from the operator’s own feed.
The next big tournament is AFCON. Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania host it from 19 June to 17 July 2027. We will not run a countdown to it. The AFCON page carries what is confirmed and nothing more.

No. That match was played on 11 June 2026 and Mexico won 2-0. We keep the page because it has always been here, not because there is a bet left on it.
No. It never did, and the tournament is over. What we do publish live is the weekly pools: the card, the cut-off and the pot. We rebuild those from the operator’s own feed and date every one.
10bet is the first route on this site for soccer. Compare ZAR Bets and TopBet when the terms or the licence matter more to you. That order has nothing to do with the World Cup and did not change when it ended.
