Morocco advances to World Cup 2026 round of 16 after 4‑2 win over Haiti

Morocco defeated Haiti 4‑2 in Atlanta on the final day of Group C at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, finishing second behind Brazil and securing a place in the round of 16. The Atlas Lions will meet the winner of Group F (the Netherlands, Japan or Sweden) in Monterrey on June 30.

In Group I, France recorded a victory over Norway, improving its position and keeping its travel schedule efficient by potentially avoiding a long‑haul flight to a fourth‑round venue. Coach Didier Deschamps emphasized the need to finish atop the group, while discussing possible lineup changes and the strategic importance of the match for France’s quest to reach the knockout stage.
