• •Morocco defeated Canada 3-0, marking the first time a 2026 World Cup host nation has been eliminated from the tournament.
• •France secured a narrow victory over Paraguay to advance to the semifinal round, according to reports from Rabona TV.
• •It remains unclear how the elimination of a major co-host will impact local attendance and tournament momentum for the remaining Canadian-hosted matches.

Morocco eliminated co-host Canada 3-0 in the latest round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while France advanced by narrowly defeating Paraguay. This outcome follows Morocco's recent trend of tournament upsets, contrasting with Canada's exit from their own hosted group stages. However, the loss leaves a logistical gap for organizers as one of the three host nations departs the knockout bracket early. Whether the tournament maintains its current atmosphere without a Canadian presence will depend on fan engagement in the final stages of the event.
