Morocco hold second training session in Boston as France Quarter-Final looms.

Описание: The Atlas Lions of Morocco took to the training pitch for their second session at the Revolution Training Center in Boston on Tuesday, intensifying preparations for Thursday’s blockbuster FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final against reigning champions France at Boston Stadium.

The technical staff, led by head coach Mohamed Ouahbi, are overseeing a programme blending tactical adjustments, technical work, and recovery as the team enters the final straight of their preparations.

The match carries immense historical weight. Morocco are seeking to avenge their semi-final defeat to France at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and are aiming to become the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the tournament for a second time.

The squad arrived in Massachusetts in the early hours of Monday morning after a special flight from Houston, following a dominant 3-0 victory over co-hosts Canada in the Round of 16. France progressed after a hard-fought 1-0 win against Paraguay.

A key focus for the coaching staff is the physical condition of several players. Midfielder Ismael Saibari and defender Chadi Riad, who sustained knocks in the victories over Canada and the Netherlands, are undergoing assessment during the sessions on Monday and Tuesday. Defender Chadi Riad is continuing his rehabilitation programme under medical supervision.
