France beats Morocco 2-0 in World Cup 2026 quarter‑final, debuts green “Liberté” kit

France defeated Morocco 2‑0 in the quarter‑final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The match was scoreless at halftime; Kylian Mbappé missed a penalty before France broke the deadlock in the second half to secure a place in the semi‑finals.

For the game France also introduced a new reserve jersey in a light‑green shade, called “Liberté”. The kit, produced by Nike, draws on the green patina of the Statue of Liberty – a gift from France to the United States – and symbolizes the historic ties between the two nations.

The victory puts France on track for a possible third World Cup final, while Morocco exits the tournament after a strong run that included wins over Senegal, Iraq and Norway in the group stage.
