Morocco Faces USA in Olympic Soccer Quarter-Final Showdown

Morocco faces the United States in the quarter-finals of the men’s tournament of the Paris-2024 Olympic Games. Will the Atlas Lions achieve a historic feat by qualifying for the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in their history?

Morocco continues its adventure in Paris. After beating Argentina (2-1), Iraq (3-0) and losing to Ukraine (1-2), the Atlas Lions, first in group B, will cross swords with the United States in the quarter-finals this Friday, August 2 at 3pm (French time) at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris. Achraf Hakimi and his teammates will try to secure a place in the semi-finals of the Olympic football tournament. In case of victory, they will achieve an unprecedented feat by reaching the last four of the Olympic men’s football tournament for the first time in their history. Morocco, which has participated in seven Olympic Games, has never reached this stage of the Olympic tournament. The Lions had qualified for the quarter-finals in the 1972 Munich edition and were eliminated in the 1st round in the 1964, 1984, 1992, 2000, 2004 and 2012 editions.

A victory against the United States, who crushed Guinea (3-0) to qualify for the quarter-finals and finish second in group A with 6 points, requires a brilliant attack, a compact and well-organized midfield and defense. Morocco can count on the Al Ain striker, Soufiane Rahimi, the top scorer so far in the Olympic football tournament with 4 goals, Ilias Akhomach, Eliesse Ben Seghir or Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, who scored a superb goal against Iraq and many other players. Against the Americans, the feat is possible for the Atlas Lions.
