Morocco’s campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup ended in the quarter‑finals after a 2‑0 defeat to France, eliminating the North African side from the tournament. The match, played at a neutral venue, saw France take an early lead and double their advantage in the second half, leaving Morocco unable to mount a comeback despite several attempts on goal.
While the loss ends Morocco’s run in this edition, the nation has already secured the right to host the subsequent World Cup, positioning it to welcome the world’s top football teams in the next tournament cycle. Organizers confirmed that the upcoming event will be staged across multiple venues in Morocco, marking the country’s first time as a World Cup host.
