Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta
Wednesday 24 June 2026 – 11pm BST
Morocco arrive in Atlanta on Wednesday evening knowing a single point will guarantee their place in the knockout rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while Haiti have already been eliminated from Group C after losing both of their opening fixtures without scoring a goal.
The Atlas Lions, ranked seventh in the world, drew 1-1 with Brazil and beat Scotland 1-0 to collect four points from their first two matches, and Mohamed Ouahbi’s side will be keen to finish the job against a Haiti team appearing at the tournament for the first time since 1974.
Morocco vs Haiti form and preview
Morocco have been unbeaten across their last five matches, winning three and drawing two, and their two World Cup performances have been defined by controlled defensive solidity rather than attacking excess.
Against Brazil in their opening game, the Atlas Lions restricted the five-time champions to a 1-1 draw before grinding out a 1-0 victory over Scotland in game two, conceding just once across 180 minutes of group stage football.
That defensive discipline has been the hallmark of Ouahbi’s tenure, with Morocco keeping three clean sheets in their last five outings and conceding only two goals in that run.
Brahim Diaz of Real Madrid and Bilal El Khannouss of VfB Stuttgart provide genuine creative quality from the wide attacking positions, while 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi has shown remarkable composure alongside Neil El Aynaoui in the double pivot.
Captain Achraf Hakimi, who has 98 caps and 11 goals as a right-back, remains one of the most dangerous attacking defenders in the tournament, and his overlapping runs down the right flank have been central to Morocco’s approach throughout the group stage.
Haiti’s return to the World Cup after a 52-year absence has been a harsh education, and Sebastien Migne’s side have lost three consecutive matches heading into this fixture.
Defeats to Scotland and Brazil, both without scoring, left Haiti as the first team eliminated from the 2026 tournament, and their combined record of zero goals and four conceded across those two games underlines the scale of the challenge they face against Morocco.
Away from the World Cup, Haiti showed they can compete against sides closer to their own level, beating New Zealand 4-0 and Nicaragua 2-0 earlier in 2026, but the step up to elite international opposition has proved too steep.
Duckens Nazon leads the squad with 44 international goals from 82 caps, though Frantzdy Pierrot (34 goals in 53 appearances) and Wilson Isidor have been the preferred forward pairing at this tournament.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde of Wolverhampton Wanderers offers Haiti their most recognisable outfield talent, and his ability to carry the ball through midfield represents one of the few areas where Haiti can genuinely trouble Morocco’s shape.
Team news: Morocco vs Haiti
Morocco
Morocco report a clean bill of health across their 26-man squad, giving Ouahbi a full selection to choose from for the final group match.
With four points already secured, there is a case for rotating some of the key players who have started both previous games, particularly Hakimi and Bouaddi, though the desire to top Group C may persuade Ouahbi to name an unchanged side.
Sofyan Amrabat of Real Betis offers a direct replacement in midfield if Bouaddi is rested, while Zakaria El Ouahdi could deputise at right-back if Hakimi is given a breather.
Soufiane Rahimi and Ayoub El Kaabi, who has 35 goals in 71 international appearances, are the most likely options from the bench if Ouahbi decides to refresh his attacking options.
Haiti
Haiti also have no confirmed injuries, though Migne is expected to make tactical adjustments after the 3-0 defeat to Brazil exposed vulnerabilities in his defensive structure.
Captain Johny Placide, the 38-year-old goalkeeper with 84 caps, is set to continue between the posts as Haiti’s most experienced player and a figure of stability for the group.
Migne may consider introducing Dominique Simon into midfield after Simon impressed as a substitute against Brazil, and the shift could provide more creativity in central areas where Haiti have struggled to retain possession against top-level opponents.
With elimination confirmed, the manager has the freedom to give opportunities to squad players, and younger options such as 20-year-old Keeto Thermoncy and 21-year-old Woodensky Pierre could be handed minutes from the bench.

Head-to-head: Morocco vs Haiti
Morocco and Haiti have never faced each other in a senior international match, making this Group C fixture a genuine first meeting at any level of men’s football.
The absence of any historical reference point means form, squad quality and tournament context are the only meaningful indicators, and Morocco hold a commanding advantage across all three categories.
Morocco reached the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, becoming the first African nation to achieve that milestone, and their squad is filled with players competing at the highest level in European club football.
Haiti, by contrast, are returning to the World Cup for the first time since 1974, when they lost all three group matches in West Germany, and their current squad is drawn primarily from lower-division European clubs and the North American football pyramid.
Our Morocco vs Haiti prediction and tips
Morocco should win this comfortably enough, and the question is whether they choose to prioritise rest or push for a statement victory that could help them overhaul Brazil at the top of Group C on goal difference.
Haiti have shown spirit throughout their World Cup campaign, but the reality is that they lack the individual quality to trouble a Moroccan defence that has been one of the meanest in the tournament, and it would be a significant surprise if they registered a first goal of the competition here.
