FIFA World Cup 2022, December 14 schedule: What is the match happening in Qatar today?

Morocco will face the current champion and former colonial power, France, in the second semifinal of the FIFA World Cup 2022, which is scheduled to begin at 10 pm (local time) at the Al Bayt stadium.

The African country is on the verge of making history on Wednesday after becoming the first African and Arab nation to reach the World Cup semi finals since the competition's inception in 1930.

The French are expected to win this game, but the shortage of Moroccan shirts, flags, and scarves indicates how well-supported their side is.

Regragui's team has beaten all odds to reach this point. But just before the finals, no rival striker has yet to get through its defense.

Didier Deschamps, the manager of France, recognized the opponent's compactness as his team sought to advance to back-to-back World Cup finals. He said, "Morocco has the ability to defend very well. But it also has offensive qualities to win games, otherwise, it wouldn’t be here."


However, France has a number of goal threats. Together, Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud have scored nine goals, while Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann will also pose many difficulties.

Morocco's defense also has a variety of fitness issues: center-back Nayef Aguerd missed the Portugal match due to a muscle injury, while his regular partner Romain Saiss was substituted due to a recurrence of a hamstring injury.

But in his pre-game news conference, Regragui spoke about his team's goals, saying, "We are still hungry, and a lot." On the other hand, Deschamps anticipates a unique battle with Morocco.
