The Atlas Lions have arrived in Mexico, where they will continue their preparation ahead of their Round of 16 match in the 2026 World Cup against the Netherlands, scheduled to take place in Monterrey from the night of Monday, June 29 to Tuesday, June 30.
After leaving the United States, the Moroccan national team has reached Mexican soil to enter the final phase of preparation for this knockout stage encounter. The Moroccan squad will now acclimate in Monterrey, where they will face one of the highlights of this Round of 16.
Finishing second in Group C behind Brazil, Morocco secured its ticket to the knockout stage after a solid performance in the group stage. The Atlas Lions notably held their ground against the Seleção before defeating Scotland and then Haiti, confirming their ambitions in this World Cup.
Against the Netherlands, who topped their group, Mohamed Ouahbi’s men will need to deliver a high-level performance to continue their journey. This match, scheduled for Tuesday, June 30 at 3:00 AM French time, promises to be a true test for a Moroccan team determined to reach a new level in the competition.
