USA FC
The United States has progressed to the final eight of the Olympic Games after beating Guinea 3-0. The US started quickly at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, with midfielder Dorde Mihailovic scoring a free kick in the 14th minute. Wolfsburg winger Kevin Paredes added two goals to secure maximum points, ensuring they finished runners-up in Group A. The US also defeated New Zealand 4-1 and Guinea by a three-goal margin, keeping them in contention for a podium place. With only two of six warm-up friendlies won earlier this year, the Americans will face a top African team at Parc des Princes.
Marko Mitrovic awaits Gianluca Busio’s recovery from a leg injury, while Maximilian Dietz and Griffin Yow made their first starts. Overage players Djordje Mihailovic, Miles Robinson, and Walker Zimmerman are set to start, with the latter having 11 previous appearances in central defense.
Morocco FC
Morocco secured a 3-0 victory over Iraq in their opening fixture, securing them as Group B winners. Amir Richardson scored the first goal of the tournament, followed by Soufiane Rahimi’s fourth. Real Betis star Abde Ezzalzouli added a third, solidifying Morocco’s status as Olympic medal contenders. Despite being beaten by Ukraine, Morocco is now the first Moroccan squad to advance to the group stage since 1992. The winners of last year’s Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco, topped the group due to their superior head-to-head record against Argentina, setting up an intriguing match with the USA.
Busio’s clubmate, Tanner Tessmann, will lead the US side, while Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi will play at his home stadium. Abde Ezzalzouli will join a front line led by Soufiane Rahimi, while Boukamir and El Azzouzi will join the back.
