Co-hosts Canada face Morocco at NRG Stadium in Houston when the first leg of the round of 16 kicks off at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Canada’s route has been a bit rocky, with Jesse Marsch’s side relying heavily on their defensive solidity. After finishing second in their group, the Reds eased past South Africa 1-0 in the last 16 – their first ever World Cup knockout win – thanks to Stephen Eustaquio’s stoppage-time winner. This is already Canada’s best tournament after a disappointing group stage exit in 2022 where they coincidentally lost 2-1 to today’s opponents. Alphonso Davies could be in line for his first start of the tournament after returning from a hamstring injury in the previous game.
Morocco, on the other hand, endured a dramatic last-16 encounter against the Netherlands, eventually winning 3-2 on penalties after a tense 1-1 draw that featured Issa Diop’s late equaliser. Depending on whether you count the controversial awarding of the 2025 AFCON finals to the Atlas Lions, Mohamed Ouahbi’s side are 33 games unbeaten and continue to show the resilience that took them to the semi-finals in 2022. Much will be relied on by Achraf Hakimi and Ismael Saibari – who scored the winning penalty against the Dutch after hitting every game in the group stage – to make the early breakthroughs.
