Tournament favorites France face dark horses Morocco in the first quarter-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Boston – and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
This match brings back memories of Qatar 2022, where the Atlas Lions became the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final, only to see their run end in a 2-0 defeat to Les Bleus. The scary thing for Morocco – and the other teams left in the tournament – is that France look even better now than when they reached the final four years ago. Didier Deschamps’ men showed they possess strength as well as beauty in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Paraguay in the round of 16 thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s 70th-minute penalty. France’s captain and talisman is now on seven goals for the tournament and looks determined to lift the World Cup for a second time.
Morocco’s 3-0 win over Canada in the round of 16 looks comfortable enough on the surface, but Mohamed Ouahbi’s men had to survive heavy pressure in the first half, registering just five shots in total. However, tournament football is all about getting the job done and the Atlas Lions have built up plenty of experience winning knockout games. The win over Canada was particularly impressive considering they lost top scorer Ismael Saibari to a hamstring injury after just 22 minutes and will be absent against France, potentially dealing a fatal blow to Morocco’s promotion hopes.
The winners will face Spain or Belgium in the first semi-final in Dallas next Tuesday.
