Morocco on the other hand surprisingly dominated USA in a 4-0 win during their Quarterfinals meeting. Since Morocco reached the last four, this is their best finish yet, as this is the first time for them to reach this stage.

Spain FC
Spain, ranked runners-up behind Egypt, faced Japan in the final Group C game of the Olympic Games. However, inspired by Barcelona star Fermin Lopez, Spain managed to win 3-0 over Japan. New signing Abel Ruiz and former Portugal’s Primeira Liga player Eric Garcia contributed to the victory. Spain, Olympic champions in 1992 and 2000, aims to surpass their previous success in Japan three years ago. The team, featuring Eric Garcia, also aims to emulate the success of Spain’s senior team at Euro 2024. To secure a spot on the Paris podium, Spain must first defeat Morocco, then face either Egypt or France in the final.
Santi Denia reverted to his strongest starting XI for Spain’s semi-final against Egypt, bringing back Juan Miranda, Eric Garcia, and Alex Baena. Pau Cubarsi returns after suspension, and Arnau Tenas starts in goal, with Abel Ruiz leading the front line.
Morocco FC
Morocco’s Olympic team, led by captain Achraf Hakimi, has made it to a major semi-final in Qatar 2022. The Paris Saint-Germain star scored a goal in Friday’s quarter-final clash with the United States, leading the team to a partisan victory. The Moroccans, who previously topped Group B ahead of Argentina, are strong contenders to advance to Friday’s final. The winners of last year’s Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations, who beat Egypt, could face a possible re-match with the Pharaohs in the gold medal game, but a strong Spain side will pose a challenge. The Moroccans are strong contenders to advance to Friday’s final.
Morocco’s attack is led by Soufiane Rahimi, with former Barcelona wingers Ilias Akhomach and Abde Ezzalzouli playing alongside him. Rahimi is part of an Under-23 squad.
