Morocco's national football team, the Atlas Lions, have learned their opponent for the round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Despite a convincing victory over Haiti in their final group stage match, Morocco finished second in Group C.
As a result, the Atlas Lions will face the Netherlands, who topped their group. The match is scheduled to take place in the knockout phase, with the exact date and venue to be confirmed by FIFA.
Morocco's performance in the group stage included a win against Haiti, but results elsewhere meant they could not secure top spot. The team will now prepare for a challenging encounter against the Dutch side, known for their strong attacking play.
