France v Morocco: World Cup 2026 Quarter-final

Published July 9, 2026 · Updated July 9, 2026 · The Guardian

France faces Morocco in the World Cup 2026 quarter-final, a rematch of their dramatic 2022 semi-final encounter.

Four years after their controversial semi-final meeting in Qatar, France and Morocco face off again in the World Cup 2026 quarter-final. While France went on to win the 2022 World Cup, Morocco has since become African champions and climbed to sixth in the world rankings, making this a much more evenly matched contest than expected.

France remains the favorite to advance but with less certainty than in 2022, as Morocco seeks both revenge and a spot in the semi-finals. Kick-off is scheduled for 4pm EDT in Boston (9pm BST/6am AEST). freshyourfeel.org
