Canada will face its biggest test of World Cup 2026 thus far when it goes up against Morocco at NRG Stadium as the competition's last 16 kicks off on Saturday. The tournament has been whittled down to the true contenders, and the Canucks will look to advance an already historic run by making the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in Houston.Jesse Marsch hopes to have captain Alphonso Davies back in a wider capacity after the Bayern Munich star played his first minutes of the competition last time out against South Africa. Davies played just 15 minutes off the bench, but Canada fans all over will be hoping their skipper is fit enough to start this time around.
The Atlas Lions will hope to keep things much the same, meanwhile, after beating De Oranje on penalties to reach the last 16 of successive World Cups for the first time. Manager Mohamed Ouahbi has no injury concerns in his midst, even though central defender Chadi Riad came off with what appeared to be a knock against the Dutch.
Canada has never beaten Morocco in four attempts to date, losing three times and drawing just once in that time. It just so happens the most recent of those meetings came during the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, giving Marsch's men the ideal opportunity to demonstrate how far they've come in four years
