Recent Results and Path to the Quarter-Finals

France reached the last eight after defeating Paraguay 1-0 in the round of 16, while Morocco advanced with a more dominant 3-0 victory over co-hosts Canada. The French side, which lost the 2022 World Cup final to Argentina, enters this fixture as tournament favourites. Morocco's strong performance against Canada suggests the North African team remains a formidable opponent despite their lower seeding.

This quarter-final represents a rematch of the same stage from the 2022 tournament, when France emerged victorious 2-0 thanks to goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani. The winner will face either Spain or Belgium in the semi-finals.
