It will be a proud moment for Morocco to play their 7th game in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, despite it not being the final.

Their history-making run saw them become the first African nation to reach the semi finals, but they were beaten by defending champions France, on Thursday.

Head coach Walid Regragui says they wanted things to have gone differently and played in the final.

Regragui says there is another game to play and they would like to be on the podium.

He says he told his players this is their 7th World Cup game and if they told any Morocco fan they would be playing their seventh game tomorrow, they would be proud.

Morocco will face Croatia in the third place match at 3am tomorrow.
