France secured a place in the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a commanding 2-0 victory over Morocco in Thursday’s quarterfinal clash.

Les Bleus produced a disciplined performance to overcome the Atlas Lions, with Kylian Mbappé opening the scoring before Ousmane Dembélé added a second goal to seal the win. Morocco battled throughout the contest but were unable to break down the French defence.

The victory makes France the first team to book a place in the World Cup semifinals, where they will face the winner of the quarterfinal between Spain and Belgium in the race for a place in the final.

Morocco’s defeat brings an end to another impressive World Cup campaign, while France remain firmly on course for a third FIFA World Cup title. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
