Canada had never won a World Cup match before the 2026 tournament began, but the Reds have embarked on a history-making run to the last 16. Now comes by far their biggest challenge, at Houston's NRG Stadium, as they face a Morocco team that boasts a generational crop of talent.
The Atlas Lions have already toppled European powerhouses the Netherlands and the 2022 semi-finalists have full belief that they can match, if not better, their performance four years ago in Qatar.

After his side overcame South Africa courtesy of a dramatic injury-time winner from Stephen Eustaquio, Canada boss Jesse Marsch lauded his players. "You guys are Canadian heroes," the former Leeds boss said. "This sport has a big future because of you guys.”
It was a monumental moment for Canadian football, but there is no time for this squad to reflect on what they’ve achieved. Next up are the world's sixth-best team in the live FIFA rankings, who are 33 games unbeaten – if you count being awarded the 2025 AFCON final after the fact, anyway.

Canada vs Morocco: World Cup 2026 Preview
After playing all three Group B matches in the Great White North, Canada had to travel to the United States for their first-ever World Cup knockout game. Despite losing home advantage, they thrilled their travelling fans with a historic victory in Los Angeles.
The late arrival of Alphonso Davies provided a massive boost to Marsch’s side. The Bayern Munich left-back made an immediate impact after coming off the substitutes' bench and there are high hopes he will be fit enough to start against Morocco.
The seven-time Bundesliga winner is a talismanic figure for Canada. Deployed further forward for his country, the 25-year-old offers a whole new dimension in attack thanks to the quality of his delivery and his eye for goal. Striker Jonathan David, in particular, will be delighted to see Davies' return.
Four years on from a memorable run to the last four in Qatar, Morocco have again proven their genuine threat on the world stage. Having come through the group stage with relative ease, they deservedly overcame the Netherlands on penalties in the last 32.
The Atlas Lions dominated much of the game and could easily have wrapped up a comfortable win had it not been for an inspired goalkeeping performance from Bart Verbruggen. In the end, they needed an injury-time leveller from Issa Diop and a nerveless shootout penalty from Ismael Saibari to advance.
That decisive spot-kick sparked wild celebrations among a talented squad that is arguably stronger than four years ago. Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz are firmly established superstars, while 18-year-old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi is attracting the interest of Europe’s elite clubs after a string of mature performances.
