Morocco has qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, becoming the first team to secure a spot in the last eight. The Atlas Lions defeated Canada 3-0 on Saturday evening in a dominant performance on Canadian soil.
The opening 45 minutes remained scoreless, with Canada's coach Jesse Marsch's side creating problems for the African team. Morocco broke through after the interval with clinical finishing.
Azzedine Ounahi scored twice in the second half to put the match beyond doubt. Soufiane Rahimi then added a third goal late on to confirm the comprehensive victory.
Morocco qualified alongside Egypt as the two African nations to reach the Round of 16. Their quarter-final opponent will be determined by the winner of the France versus Paraguay match.
