Canada aims to continue its World Cup journey with a crucial match against Morocco in the Round of 16. This is a significant moment, as Canada had never advanced past the group stage until this year, where they impressively finished second in their group to reach the knockout stage.
Their first knockout game against South Africa was quite tense, ending in a goalless draw until stoppage time. It was then that Stephen Eustaquio scored, helping Canada secure their spot in the Round of 16 for the first time.
In this upcoming quarterfinals qualifier, Canada will face Morocco, the other second-place team from the group stage. Morocco earned their place after drawing with the Netherlands 1-1 and then winning the penalty shootout 3-2, with Ismael Saibari scoring the decisive goal.
The team that wins this match will go on to meet either Paraguay or France in the quarterfinals on July 9.
Canada vs Morocco time
The match begins today, July 4, at 1:00 PM ET.
What channel will Canada vs. Morocco be broadcast on?
