Morocco has breached new frontiers by becoming the first-ever African semfinalist in the history of the tournament.France is just a game away from entering a second successive final, which would make it the first team since Brazil in 2002 to do so. An even bigger wait would end if the French goes on to win the whole thing, with Brazil (1958 and 1962) the last team to achieve the feat.
Defending champions France look to be in great form since the beginning of the FIFA
World Cup 2022. With the exception of the Tunisia match, they have won all the matches in the tournament so far. Morocco became the first African nation to reach the world cup semi-finals after upsetting Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal 1-0.
France and Morocco have played against each other five times in the past. France have won three matches and Morocco one while one match ended in a draw. However, these two sides have never faced one another in a major competition, like the world cup.
Key Players
Mbappe and Giroud will be key players to watch out as both of them will have a chance to secure their spot as the leading goal-scorer in the tournament and take their team to the final again. Hakim Ziyech, who has already scored once in the tournament, will be a key player for Morocco.
Date, Time & Venue
The France vs Morocco match will be played on December 15 at 00:30 AM (Indian time) in the Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor.
