The French national team has already revealed the eleven with which it will face this Thursday the quarterfinal match of the 2026 World Cup against Morocco. Didier Deschamps maintains his trust in his usual block and presents a top-level lineup to seek a place in the semifinals of the tournament.
The French team will start with Mike Maignan in goal; a defense formed by Jules Koundé, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba and Lucas Digne; Manu Koné and Adrien Rabiot will occupy the midfield, while Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappé will make up the attacking front.
Mbappé leads the French attack
The main offensive reference will once again be Kylian Mbappé, accompanied by a creative trio formed by Dembélé, Olise and the young Désiré Doué, one of the revelations of the French national team in recent months.
In midfield, Deschamps bets on the balance of Koné and Rabiot, while the central pair composed of Upamecano and Saliba will be in charge of stopping the Moroccan offensive potential.
France seeks to repeat presence in semifinals
France faces the match after eliminating Paraguay in the round of 16 and with the objective of continuing to advance towards a new world title. Opposite will be a Morocco that already surprised in Qatar 2022 and that once again finds itself among the eight best teams of the tournament.
The winner of the match will qualify for the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup, where they will face the winner of the clash between Spain and Belgium.
