Morocco have been eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering a 2-0 defeat to France in the quarterfinals.
The Atlas Lions entered the encounter hoping to continue their impressive run in the tournament and move a step closer to becoming the first African country to reach a World Cup final.
However, France proved too strong on the night, securing the victory that ended Morocco’s campaign and sent the European giants into the semifinals.
Despite the defeat, Morocco’s journey in the competition attracted attention across Africa as the North African side once again showed its ability to compete against some of the world’s strongest football nations.
The defeat also marked another painful World Cup exit against France, who defeated Morocco by the same scoreline in the semifinal of the 2022 tournament.
Morocco will now turn attention to future competitions as the country prepares to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal.
France, meanwhile, continue their push for another World Cup title as they move into the semifinal stage of the competition.
