Morocco Rally Past Haiti to Reach FIFA World Cup Round of 32
Toronto, The Gulf Observer: Morocco secured a place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 after coming from behind to defeat Haiti 4-2 in their final Group C match on Tuesday.
Haiti made a bright start and took an early lead, putting pressure on the North African side. However, Morocco responded strongly, overturning the deficit with an impressive attacking display to claim a 4-2 victory and book their place in the knockout stage.
The win ensured Morocco finished among the top teams in Group C, continuing their impressive run in the tournament. The Atlas Lions demonstrated resilience and attacking quality as they recovered from a difficult opening period to take control of the contest.
Morocco’s qualification marks another milestone for the team, which has emerged as one of Africa’s leading football nations in recent years. The side will now turn its attention to the Round of 32, where it will seek to extend its World Cup campaign.
Haiti, despite a spirited performance and an early advantage, were unable to withstand Morocco’s second-half resurgence and bowed out of the tournament after completing their group-stage fixtures.
The result underlined Morocco’s growing reputation on the global stage and reinforced the team’s ambitions of making a deep run in the expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup.
