    FIFA WC: 'We're Here Because We Can Compete With France,' Says Morocco's Diaz Ahead Of QF Clash

    FIFA World Cup: Morocco playmaker Brahim Diaz believes the Atlas Lions have every reason to be confident ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final against France, insisting they have earned the right to challenge one of the tournament favourites.

    Morocco, who stunned Canada 3-0 in the Round of 16 after edging the Netherlands on penalties, now face the side that ended their dream run in the 2022 World Cup semi-finals. But Diaz said his team are not in the last eight merely to make up the numbers.

    "We're coming up against one of the favourites tomorrow, but we're here because we can compete with France and we're among the contenders too. We want to win tomorrow. We'll give it everything we've got and perform to our best," Diaz told reporters ahead of Friday's clash.
