Canada vs. Morocco head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 5

Canada wins: 0

Draws: 1

Morocco wins: 4

Canada and Morocco met for the fifth time at the 2026 World Cup, and it was the latter that progressed to the quarter-finals courtesy of a 3-0 success.

Canada have never beaten Morocco in senior men's football, suffering four defeats and earning one draw since their inaugural contest in 1984.

The two nations were paired together in Group F at the 2022 World Cup, clashing on matchday three, and the Atlas Lions emerged as 2-1 winners to book their place in the last 16.

Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri were on target for the eventual semi-finalists, who survived a scare when Nayef Aguerd put the ball into his own net, as Canada crashed out without a single point to their name.

Prior to their maiden Mundial meeting, Canada and Morocco also collided in an October 2016 friendly, won convincingly by the African nation in a 4-0 demolition job.

Ziyech was on target twice that day - both goals coming from the penalty spot - complementing an opening strike from Mehdi Carcela and a late finish from Rachid Alioui.

Canada's only positive result against Morocco to date came in a 1994 friendly, when Haiti-born Rudy Doliscat came off the bench to score in a 1-1 draw in Montreal, 10 years after the Atlas Lions won 3-2 in their first-ever contest.
