Morocco has enjoyed an outstanding World Cup journey, securing four wins and one draw.
Morocco defeated Haiti and Scotland in the group stage and drew with Brazil 1-1. In the Round of 32, Morocco secured a well-deserved win against the Netherlands through a penalty shootout and won against Canada to go through to the quarterfinals after an intense Round of 16.
Now the Atlas Lions will face Mbappé and his teammate on Thursday at 9 p.m. Moroccan time, with fans eager to see the national team take revenge to end Les Bleus’ World Cup journey.
France ended Morocco’s historic World Cup journey in Qatar in 2022, but the Atlas Lions’ performance marked a new era for the national team, which made its mark on World Cup history as the first Arab and African team to reach this stage of the tournament.
