The 2026 World Cup marks a series of historic milestones for Canada: their first point, first victory, and first-ever advancement to the knockout stage of the tournament. Having already overcome South Africa, Canada now faces their toughest challenge yet—the Moroccan national team.
The “Atlas Lions” clearly enter the match as favorites. Morocco currently holds the sixth spot in the FIFA rankings, a full 24 places above Canada. While the host nation will undoubtedly give their all, pulling off an upset will be a formidable task.
These two sides previously met during the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, where the Atlas Lions secured a 2-1 victory.
