Morocco secured their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 after a 4-2 victory over Haiti in a high-scoring encounter in Atlanta. Despite trailing twice in the first half, Morocco rallied with late goals from substitutes Soufiane Rahimi and Gessime Yassine to win the match. While the win solidified their position in the knockout stage, Morocco finished second in Group C behind Brazil on goal difference.

Haiti exited the tournament without a point, yet the team achieved a historic milestone by scoring their first World Cup goals in 52 years. Lenny Joseph and Wilson Isidor found the net for Haiti, providing a spirited performance that resonated with their supporters. The match concluded a challenging campaign for Haiti, marking their first return to the World Cup stage since 1974.

Having qualified as the runners-up in Group C, Morocco is now set for a testing fixture in Monterrey against either the Netherlands or Japan.

For Brazil, the group phase concluded successfully, setting them up as a top-seeded threat for the upcoming knockout stages.
