The Netherlands and Morocco are set to clash in the round of 16 at this 2026 World Cup. Dutch head coach Ronald Koeman has already weighed in on the upcoming showdown.

Oranje manager Ronald Koeman is taking nothing for granted against Morocco's Atlas Lions.

"I don't know if we're the favorites against Morocco. That's the first thing. Also, we know what could be waiting for us if we get past Morocco. But I don't think we're in a position to look that far ahead just yet. We need to focus on preparing well for this match against Morocco, because it's going to be a very tough game. They're a very good team, with great individual talents and a real knack for finding the net," explained the former FC Barcelona boss in a press conference.
