Morocco vs Spain, FIFA World Cup Qatar round of 16 tie, scheduled for Tuesday 6 December at 17:00 at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, will be televised by TVR 1.
Morocco and Spain met in one of the most balanced matches in this phase of the final tournament, which also brings serious challenges for betting enthusiasts.
Morocco, the surprise winners of Group F, which also included Croatia (0-0), Belgium (2-0) and Canada (2-1), thus equaled their best result at a world finals tournament, having only reached the eighties once , in 1986 (was eliminated by Federal Germany, score 0-1).
The Africans are coached by Walid Regraghi, a former Moroccan international, a right-back, without much success as a player, but a winner of the Qatar Championship with Al Duhail in 2020 and the CAF Champions League with Widad in 2022.
Valid Regrahi took charge of the national team on August 31, 2022 after the dismissal of Bosnia’s Vahid Halilhodzic, who qualified for the World Cup without defeat, but did not agree with the federation on the preparation plan for the final tournament in Qatar.
Spain qualified from 2nd place in Group E only because Germany, who were eliminated, returned the score to Costa Rica (4-2) and the Iberians suffered a surprise defeat against Japan (1-2).
This after Luis Enrique’s team scored in the final tournament against Costa Rica (7-0) and drew with Germany (1-1), results that were not indicative of what would happen in the final matches.
Spain, in their 12th consecutive World Cup, won the trophy at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, 1–0 in the final against the Netherlands thanks to a 116th-minute goal from Andres Iniesta.
The winner of the Morocco-Spain match will play the winner of the Portugal-Switzerland match in the quarter-finals, which is scheduled for Tuesday 6 December from 21:00 at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail.
The two sides have met only three times before: in 1961 in a 1962 World Cup qualifier (Chile), with Spain winning each time in Morocco, 1-0 away and 3-2 at home, and at the 2018 World Cup (Russia) , in the group stage with a score of 2-2.
