This quarterfinal showdown is a highly anticipated rematch of the 2022 semifinals, featuring powerhouse France against a resilient Morocco squad that has become a familiar presence on the biggest stage.
France booked their place in the next round with a 1-0 victory over a spirited Paraguay side, thanks to a clutch penalty converted by Kylian Mbappé. That goal not only advanced Les Bleus but also kept Mbappé in the Golden Boot race with seven goals and two assists as he battles for the top scorer honors against Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi. Morocco advanced from the Round of 16 with a commanding second-half performance against Canada, a win powered by a brace from Azzedine Ounahi and a stoppage-time strike from Soufiane Rahimi. France’s attacking trio of Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, and Mbappé will lead the charge, while Morocco will lean on the elite play of Brahim Díaz, Youssef En-Nesyri, Noussair Mazraoui, and Achraf Hakimi to pull off the upset.
