France will begin their 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter final campaign against Morocco in Boston in the next hour, with star striker Kylian Mbappe named in starting lineup.
France have been one of the standout teams of the tournament, winning all of their matches, including a 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the Round of 16.
Mbappe has been in superb form and will once again lead the French attack as they chase a place in the semi-finals.
Morocco have also continued their remarkable World Cup run after eliminating the Netherlands on penalties in the Round of 32 before beating co-hosts Canada 3-0 to book their place in the last eight.
The clash is a rematch of the 2022 World Cup semi-final, which France won 2-0, but Morocco arrive with confidence after another impressive tournament campaign.
The winner will advance to the semi finals to face either Spain or Belgium, who meet in the second quarter-final at 7am tomorrow.
