What is the FIFA World Cup 2026?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the 23rd edition of the tournament and the first to be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Running from 11 June to 19 July 2026, the competition features 48 teams for the first time, 12 groups of four, and 104 matches across 16 host cities.

Where is Haiti vs Morocco being played?
The match takes place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United, the venue has a capacity of around 71,000 and is one of 11 US stadiums hosting 2026 World Cup matches. Its distinctive retractable roof makes it one of the most architecturally striking venues on the tournament schedule.
Key Contenders
Morocco stunned the football world by reaching the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, becoming the first African nation to go so far. Under head coach Walid Regragui, the Atlas Lions are built around captain and goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, defender Achraf Hakimi, creative midfielder Hakim Ziyech and forward Youssef En-Nesyri. Morocco arrive as one of the most feared sides outside the traditional European and South American elite.
Haiti qualified through the CONCACAF route and are returning to the World Cup for the first time since their 1974 debut. Head coach Sebastien Migne’s Grenadiers are led by Duckens Nazon, Frantzdy Pierrot and midfielder Derrick Etienne. Simply reaching the tournament after a 52-year absence is a landmark achievement for Haitian football.
