The 2026 FIFA World Cup has made its presence felt at the Wimbledon Championships, with several tennis stars celebrating victories using gestures made famous by footballers.<\/p>\n

The football tournament has entered the quarter-final stage, with France set to face Morocco, Spain taking on Belgium, Norway meeting England and Argentina playing Switzerland later this week.<\/p>\n
