Morocco Face Haiti in Final Group C Clash in Atlanta
Morocco will face Haiti in their final Group C fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 24. The match is scheduled to take place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, with kickoff set for 6 p.m. ET.
The Atlas Lions enter the contest in a strong position, having earned four points from their first two matches. Morocco began the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Brazil and followed it with a 1-0 victory over Scotland. Ismael Saibari has been the standout performer for the North African side, scoring both of Morocco's goals in the competition so far.
For Morocco, the primary objective is to finish at the top of the group. While they are likely to advance to the Round of 32 even with a loss, a victory would confirm a second-place finish. To claim the top spot, Morocco needs a win and must hope for a specific result in the Scotland versus Brazil match, as they currently trail Brazil on goal difference.
In contrast, Haiti enters the match having already been eliminated from the tournament. Les Grenadiers suffered a 1-0 loss to Scotland in their opening game and a 3-0 defeat to Brazil. Despite their struggles, the team is playing for pride in their first World Cup appearance since 1974.
Morocco's manager, Mohamed Ouahbi, has no confirmed suspensions or injuries ahead of the game. The projected lineup features Yassine Bounou in goal, with a defensive line including Achraf Hakimi, Noussair Mazraoui, Chadi Riad, and Issa Diop. The midfield is expected to feature Brahim Diaz, Azzedine Ounahi, and Bilal El Khannouss, with Saibari leading the attack.
Viewers in the United States can watch the match on FS1, with Spanish-language coverage provided by Telemundo and Universo. International audiences can access the game via BBC Two in the UK, Zee5 in India, and SBS in Australia. The match will be officiated by referee Danny Makkelie of the Netherlands.
