FIFA WC 2026 RO32: Netherlands vs Morocco live match time (IST), streaming

Morocco will take the field against the Netherlands in the Round of 32 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 with a 32-match unbeaten run in international football

One of the standout fixtures of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 will see the Netherlands take on Morocco at Estadio Monterrey on Tuesday, with a place in the last 16 against either Brazil or Japan on the line.

 

Both sides reached the knockout stage after impressive group-stage campaigns, finishing on seven points from three matches. The Dutch topped Group F on goal difference, while Morocco finished second in Group C behind Brazil despite remaining unbeaten.

 

Ronald Koeman's men carry a remarkable 15-match unbeaten run in World Cup games across normal and extra time, while Morocco arrive unbeaten in 32 consecutive internationals.

 

Netherlands bank on attacking firepower

The Netherlands have looked among the tournament's most dangerous attacking teams, scoring 10 goals in three group-stage matches. After surrendering a late lead in a 2-2 draw against Japan, Ronald Koeman's side responded emphatically with a 5-1 demolition of Sweden before defeating Tunisia 3-1 to seal top spot in Group F.

 

Brian Brobbey's introduction as the central striker has transformed the Dutch attack, allowing midfielders Tijjani Reijnders and Ryan Gravenberch greater freedom while creating space for the wide players.

 

However, the Oranje have been less convincing defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their three World Cup matches and extending that run to seven consecutive games.

 

Koeman has received a timely boost with Denzel Dumfries and Brobbey both declared fit, while Micky van de Ven is expected to return at left-back. Led by captain Virgil van Dijk, the Netherlands know a more disciplined defensive display will be essential against Morocco's pace on the counter.

Morocco out to continue fairytale run

Morocco have reinforced their reputation as one of world football's most resilient sides by extending their unbeaten run to 32 matches. The Atlas Lions opened their World Cup campaign with an impressive 1-1 draw against Brazil, matching the five-time champions for long spells before victories over Scotland and Haiti secured qualification for the knockout stage.

 

Head coach Mohamed Ouahbi also benefited from rotating several key players against Haiti, ensuring a fresh squad for the business end of the tournament. Ismael Saibari has emerged as Morocco's standout performer after scoring in all three group-stage matches, becoming the first African player to score in each of his country's opening three World Cup group-stage games.

 

Midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi has also impressed with his composure and control, while Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz continue to provide quality on the flanks. With a fully fit squad available and confidence soaring after their semi-final run in Qatar four years ago, Morocco will believe they have every chance of ending the Netherlands' long unbeaten World Cup run.
