Morocco to face France in World Cup quarterfinal, a rematch of Qatar 2022
The quarterfinal matchups for the 2026 FIFA World Cup have been determined. Morocco's rematch against France, to whom they lost in the 2022 semifinal, will be a clash that draws great interest in the Islamic world.
Excitement is at its peak in the quarterfinal stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The clashes among the last eight teams in the tournament hosted by the United States will capture the attention of the Middle East and the Islamic world, particularly with Morocco's match.
Morocco will play France on Thursday in Boston (20:00 GMT). This match is a rematch of the Qatar 2022 World Cup semifinal. Morocco lost 2-0 to France in that tournament, missing out on a chance to reach the final.
Morocco, one of the two teams meeting in this quarterfinal, defeated Canada 3-0 in the round of 16. However, star player Ismael Saibari will be unable to play due to injury. Under coach Mohamed Ouahbi, Morocco will try to stop France's attacking power with a defense-oriented game.
France, on the other hand, is the favorite with stars like Mbappe, Olise, and Dembele. The French, who have only struggled against Paraguay so far in the tournament, will want to assert their superiority in the rematch.
