Canada and Paraguay have been knocked out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering defeats in their Round of 16 matches.

Canada’s campaign came to an end following a 3-0 loss to Morocco at Houston Stadium on Saturday.

The North Africans secured a convincing victory through a brace from Azzedine Ounahi, while Soufiane Rahimi added the third goal to seal Morocco’s place in the quarter-finals.

Paraguay also exited the tournament after a narrow 1-0 defeat to France.

A second-half penalty converted by Kylian Mbappe proved decisive as the former world champions advanced to the last eight.

France will now take on Morocco in the quarter-finals on Thursday, with both sides aiming to book a place in the semi-finals.
