Is this Canada's best ever World Cup run?

Yes. Canada's two previous World Cups, 1986 and 2022, both ended in the group stage without a win. In 2026 they beat Qatar 6-0, finished second in Group B, and knocked out South Africa in the Round of 32.

Has Morocco ever reached a World Cup semi-final?

Yes. In 2022 Morocco became the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final, finishing fourth. It remains the best World Cup finish by any African side.

What is each team's World Cup story?

Canada

Canada are at their third World Cup and hosting this one alongside Mexico and the United States. Their two previous trips, in 1986 and 2022, both ended in the group stage without a single win, which makes this run, a 6-0 rout, a knockout victory, and now a Round of 16 tie at home in North America, the best fortnight in their football history.

Morocco

Morocco are at their seventh World Cup and arrive as the highest-achieving African side in the tournament's history: in 2022 they became the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final, finishing fourth. Beating the Netherlands in the Round of 32 suggests the 2022 run was a beginning, not a peak. See the full squads and fixtures on the Canada and Morocco team pages.
