Morocco’s Route to the World Cup Final: Confirmed Round of 16 Match, Bracket Scenarios, Fixtures & More
Don’t miss your chance of seeing Morocco in World Cup knockout action, where they’ll be playing and who against.
Heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Moroccan fans hoped the Atlas Lions could recreate their historic 2022 semi-final run. Under manager Mohamed Ouahbi, who took over in March 2026, the team has delivered on that immense promise.
After advancing from Group C—thanks to a gritty 1-1 draw with Brazil, a 1-0 win over Scotland, and a 4-2 victory against Haiti—Morocco survived a dramatic Round of 32 clash against the Netherlands, advancing 3-2 on penalties after a 91st-minute equalizer from Issa Diop. They carried that momentum into the Round of 16, comfortably dismantling co-hosts Canada 3-0 in Houston with a brace from Azzedine Ounahi and a late goal from Soufiane Rahimi.
Can the Atlas Lions go even further and reach the World Cup Final on July 19? Next up is a blockbuster quarter-final clash against France. Let’s look at the path that awaits Mohamed Ouahbi’s men from here on out.
