Morocco will face Norway at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, on Sunday, June 7, at 3 p.m. ET as part of the Road to 26 presented by Turkish Airlines. The match will follow Bolivia vs. Scotland, set for Saturday, June 6, at 4 p.m. ET, to complete a weekend doubleheader at the venue.
When Morocco and Norway square off, it will be the first meeting between the teams since 1998, when the nations tied 2-2 in World Cup group play, with Norway later advancing to the tournament quarterfinals. Norway is led by international superstar Erling Haaland and returns to the field this summer for the first time since that ‘98 tournament.
Morocco, No. 8 in the latest FIFA rankings, is in the World Cup for a third straight time after posting an impressive 8-0 record in its qualifying group — a dominant run that included a plus-20 goal differential (22-2).
Home of the New York Red Bulls and Gotham FC, Sports Illustrated Stadium is one of the premier soccer-specific stadiums in the United States. Most recently, the venue hosted the final of the SheBelieves Cup, the most prestigious international women’s soccer tournament played annually in the U.S. It has also hosted an MLS All-Star game, major international club friendlies and other national team exhibitions since opening in 2010.
