Morocco, seeking to repeat its achievement in the 2022 finals when it reached the semi-finals, will play against Canada in the round of 16 on July 4.
This has become the second time that the Moroccan national team, which is participating for the seventh time in the World Cup, has gone to extra time in the elimination rounds of the World Cup, after its meeting with the Spanish national team in the round of 16 during the last edition, which was held in Qatar in 2022.
Regular time ended with a goalless draw between Morocco and Spain at that time, leading to extra time, which did not succeed in determining the winner of the two after the goalless tie remained, and in the end resorted to penalty kicks, which smiled at the “Atlas Lions” team, which worked its way towards qualifying for the semi-finals, eventually obtaining fourth place in the competition.
