2026 World Cup: Which cities will host Morocco's team?

Moroccan fans can prepare their trip to the American East Coast. FIFA has unveiled the detailed schedule of the Atlas Lions for the 2026 World Cup, with the highlight being an inaugural prestigious duel against Brazil in New York.

The journey will begin with a major confrontation on Saturday, June 13, 2026. The national team will face the Seleção at the MetLife Stadium (New Jersey/New York). This appointment is taken very seriously by the opponent. Brazilian coach Carlo Ancelotti has identified Morocco as the main threat in this group stage during the draw held in Washington in the presence of Donald Trump.

The rest of the competition will lead the players to the north, then the south of the Atlantic coast. The second match, against Scotland, will be held in Boston on Friday, June 19. The group stage will conclude in Atlanta, Georgia, where the Atlas Lions will face Haiti on Wednesday, June 24. All kickoffs are scheduled for 6:00 PM local time (11:00 PM in Morocco).

This geographical concentration offers a logistical advantage for the travel of the delegation and fans. These three metropolises have dense airport connections and host a significant Moroccan community. This tournament will mark a historic turning point with the expansion to 48 nations, a first welcomed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
