The 2018 FIFA World Cup Final was the last match to determine the winner of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. This was the 21st final of the FIFA World Cup, a tournament played by the men's national football teams and organised by FIFA. The match was played at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia, on 15 July 2018, between France and Croatia. France won the match 4–2. Mario Mandžukić's own goal at the 19th minute was the first World Cup final to have an own goal. The winners of the World Cup would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup (however FIFA got rid of the Confederations Cup later on) .
