France will take on Morocco in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinal clash on Thursday (July 9).

The 2018 World Cup champions will be hoping for a place in the semifinal of the tournament, while the Atlas Lions will be aiming to match their performance from the last tournament.

This is a highly anticipated rematch of the 2022 World Cup semi-final. France enter as clear favourites with a perfect tournament record, while Morocco remain unbeaten and are looking for revenge after their 2-0 defeat four years ago.
