Tickets for Match 97, featuring France vs Morocco in the Quarter-Finals at the World Cup 2026 are now on sale. On July 9, 2026, France, the reigning 2022 runners-up, will face the ground-breaking side in Morocco in a World Cup 2026 quarter-final replay at Gillette Stadium in Boston, for a spot in the World Cup 2026 semi-finals.
France vs Morocco in the Quarter-finals of the Football World Cup 2026 is arguably the match of the tournament. France, tournament favourites, finished top of Group I and breezed through to the quarter-finals. Morocco, the most successful African nation in the history of the FIFA World Cup, finished in second place in Group C behind Brazil and went on to eliminate the Netherlands and Canada to reach the last eight.
The winner of this clash on 9th July will progress to the semi-final on 14 July in AT&T Stadium in Dallas, a win away from the World Cup 2026 Final. With star-man Kylian Mbappé leading France's star-studded world cup team and Morocco seeking payback from their semi-final defeat to France back in 2022, Match 97 tickets are sure to be popular across the tournament.
France were tipped by many as one of the clear favourites and they did not disappoint in their performance in the Group Stage. Under the management of Didier Deschamps, the side won all three games in Group I, overcoming Senegal by 3-1, Iraq 3-0 and Norway 4-1 with Ousmane Dembélé scoring a hat-trick against the latter. As a result, France topped their group and made their attacking ability clear.
France went on to beat Sweden 3-0 in the Round of 32, and then were pitted against a strong Paraguay side in the Round of 16. After eliminating the Germans in an extremely hard-fought match, Paraguay showed their mettle against Les Bleus who were made to work in a gritty game. Mbappé scored a penalty in the second-half to give France their first victory, winning by a narrow margin of 1-0. His seventh goal of the tournament saw him equal the top of the Golden Boot race, and saw the French side reach their 4th consecutive World Cup quarter-final.
Having made it all the way to the semi-final of the 2022 tournament and become the first African and Arab team to reach this stage, Morocco carried on their good form in World Cup 2026. Managed by Walid Regragui, Morocco held a 1-1 draw with Brazil and beat both Scotland 1-0 and Haiti 4-2 in Group C to reach the World Cup round of 16.
Morocco's performance in the Round of 32 was another statement result, as they drew the Dutch by a scoreline of 1-1 and won on penalties to set up a Round of 16 tie against Canada in Houston. Azzedine Ounahi scored a brace in a match that Morocco won by a 3-0 margin to Soufiane Rahimi's late goal. The first African nation to reach the quarter-finals in back-to-back World Cups, Morocco then made their 2026 clash with France, the semi-final of 2022, a rematch to take revenge for the former.
Below are the details you'll need to catch the Quarter Final clash:
Gillette Stadium — home of the New England Patriots — is one of the premier arenas for this event. We should see a boisterous and multicoloured gallery here on Thursday for a game of this stature. Expect to see Moroccan supporters turn out to bring their own energy to the occasion for one of the bigger matches played in this tournament.
This fixture will be a replay of a key game in the 2022 World Cup. It is here where France overcame Morocco 2-0 in the latter stages to reach the finals in Qatar. Four years later, there is just as much at stake and we can expect the Africans to want to right the wrongs of the past and get as far as possible.
France are the slight favourites to get through here. They were the finalists two years ago and won the tournament in 2018. They possess one of the most gifted squads at this event, with Mbappé and Dembélé leading a fast-paced line of attackers. France have been impressive so far and ruthless in attack although Paraguay did show that they can struggle against a solid and physical team.
But Morocco are far from your average underdogs. Under Regragui they have played well as a collective in defence, have a threat going forward on the break via Hakimi and Ounahi and have the belief and history from their run to the 2022 semi-final, as well as their penalty shootout win over the Netherlands in this tournament. If Morocco can frustrate France and keep it close, it will become an increasingly difficult match for the favourites to come out of. It has all the ingredients for a close game: French flair against Moroccan grit, a semi-final place on the line and a chance for revenge for Morocco too.
France have won five of their six games so far and have been in prolific scoring mode with their only close game being the 1-0 over Paraguay. It was always going to be close. Morocco have not lost in normal time since the group stages and have only been a goal away from conceding a goal in this round of three games. Their win over Canada was an example of how they have been defensively tight and then efficient in front of goal in these games. Against a well-stocked French team Morocco will have to be on their game as much as they can to stay in the match. This Quarter Final really does look like it could be extremely tight.
