France and Morocco will battle for a place in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals in a high-stakes quarter-final.

The match will be played at Gillette Stadium near Boston, with the winner advancing to face either Spain or Belgium in the last four.

France head into the clash as one of the tournament favourites and will be looking to repeat their victory over Morocco in the 2022 World Cup semi-final. For Morocco, the game presents another opportunity to extend an impressive campaign and move closer to a historic World Cup title.

France coach Didier Deschamps, who is expected to step down after the tournament, said his focus remains on securing victory rather than his legacy. He described Morocco as a strong, well-organised side with quality players capable of causing problems.

Deschamps said both teams favour attacking football and expects a competitive encounter as they battle for a place in the World Cup semi-finals.
