The French national team set a date with its Moroccan counterpart in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, in a match that carries a vengeful nature for the "Atlas Lions" after their loss to the "Roosters" in the semi-finals of the previous edition.
The Moroccan team booked its place in the quarter-finals after defeating Canada with three goals without reply in the Round of 16 match, while the French team qualified after defeating Paraguay with one goal without reply in the same round.
The two teams are scheduled to meet on Thursday, July 9, at 11:00 PM Cairo time, at Boston Stadium in the United States of America.
The match holds special importance for the Moroccan team, which seeks revenge for its loss to France in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when the French team won with two goals without reply, securing its place in the final match, before losing the title to Argentina on penalties.
