France set for World Cup quarterfinal showdown with Morocco

France booked their place in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals after a narrow 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the Round of 16. Didier Deschamps' side will now take on Morocco, who also advanced from the last 16, in a highly anticipated clash. The match is scheduled to be played next week as part of the knockout stage of the tournament being co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Les Bleus will look to replicate their 2018 triumph, but Morocco have already shown they are capable of springing a surprise.
