ScotlandvsMorocco

This match is one of the 72 group-stage fixtures of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, pitting two of the four teams in Group C against each other. Every group plays six matches over roughly two weeks, with the top two finishers in each of the 12 groups advancing directly to the Round of 32 — where the knockout bracket begins. The eight best third-placed teams across all groups also progress, so even a third-place finish can be enough to keep a campaign alive.

Scotland are one of the oldest footballing nations in the world, having played in the first-ever international match against England in 1872, and their passionate Tartan Army support is renowned worldwide. Morocco head to the 2026 World Cup determined to prove that their historic semifinal run at the 2022 tournament was no fairy tale but the beginning of a new era for African football.

Scotland: Scotland have appeared at eight World Cups: 1954, 1958, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990, and 1998. Morocco: Morocco's greatest World Cup achievement was reaching the semifinals in 2022 in Qatar, where they lost to France.
