Morocco will take on Haiti in its final Group C match at the FIFA World Cup 2026, with a chance to finish at the top of the group.
Brazil is currently leading Group C on goal difference, and since each match is scheduled to be played at the same time, Morocco will not only aim to win the match but also need to conquer Haiti with a massive margin and hope Brazil drops points in opposition to Scotland or ends with an inferior goal difference.
Morocco could be absolutely focused on doing its part. They will look to score as many goals as possible against a Haiti side, which has put up a fight in both of its matches despite already being knocked out. Meanwhile, Haiti will still have something to play for. They will be hoping to earn their first-ever World Cup point and score their first goal of the tournament before ending their campaign.

Match Preview and Current form
Morocco
Morocco will enter the match in excellent form and with plenty of confidence. They have already booked their place in the Round of 32, but they will aim for a bigger picture – finishing at the top of Group C.
Their campaign has been impressive so far. Morocco started their campaign A with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Scotland, thanks to an early goal from Ismael Saibari, followed by an impressive 1-1 draw against five-time world champions Brazil. Even before the World Cup began, Morocco showed they were in great shape with convincing wins over Madagascar and Burundi in friendly matches.
World Cup form: D-W
Haiti
Haiti will play their final match of the tournament after losing their first two group games. They have already been knocked out and can no longer qualify for the knockout stage, they will be determined to end their campaign on a positive note and try to earn their first-ever World Cup point.
Haiti were beaten 3-0 by Brazil after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Scotland in their opening game, where they put in a disciplined defensive performance. Before the World Cup, they showed glimpses of their potential by beating New Zealand 4-0 in a friendly and also held Iceland to a 1-1 draw.
World Cup form: L-L
Team news and Injury Updates
Morocco
Morocco head into this final Group C match against Haiti with no fresh injuries or suspensions so far. Pre-tournament absences of defender Nayef Aguerd and forward Abde Ezzalzouli due to groin and knee injury mean they remain unavailable, but manager Mohamed Ouahbi has a strong, settled squad otherwise.
The Atlas Lions are expected to field the same team that earned four points from the first two games. Captain Achraf Hakimi, goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, and key creators like Brahim Díaz, Azzedine Ounahi, and Bilal El Khannouss are expected to feature. Rising star Ayyoub Bouaddi continues in midfield. Rotation is possible to manage fitness and chase a top spot, but an unchanged or near-unchanged lineup is probable.
Haiti
Haiti, which has already been knocked out, has minimal reported issues beyond one notable doubt. All-time leading scorer Duckens Nazon remains doubtful with an unspecified injury and may miss out, which would be a blow to their attacking threat. Midfielder Leverton Pierre is out for the tournament through injury, but there are no other major fresh concerns or suspensions.
Coach Sébastien Migné could rotate or tweak formation to give players minutes and search for their first goal of the tournament. Experienced players like captain/goalkeeper Johny Placide, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Wilson Isidor, and Frantzdy Pierrot are key.
