Croatia and Morocco may both have lost their semi-finals but these are still two teams who should be celebrated. Croatia were written off by most prior to the tournament but mixed silk with steel to eliminate the likes of Brazil. Morocco have been the fairytale story of the tournament and are now officially the most successful African team in World Cup history — something they will be aiming to mark with a third-place medal.
Croatia didn’t really show up against Argentina but will be determined to give a better account of themselves on the world stage this time. Luka Modric will wish he was playing on Sunday rather than Saturday but he still has had a career worth celebrating. The Moroccan miracle was put to an end by holders France but the Atlas Lions’ fans will be sure to bring the party atmosphere one last time. The Croatia vs Morocco live stream is the perfect starter to Sunday’s final and is not to be missed.

Croatia vs Morocco preview
Luka Modric may be the headline star bowing out, but this game will likely be the last World Cup showing for many of Croatia’s big names. At 33 Dejan Lovren, Domagoj Vida and Ivan Perišić are unlikely to make it to 2026. Zlatko Dalic will want to give a generation that has taken a country of just 4 million to a World Cup final and semi-final a rousing sendoff. At the same time, this squad has also seen the emergence of 20-year-old defender Joško Gvardiol, one of the young players of the tournament who has all the tools to go to the top. Croatia will be entering this game as favorites and must perform better than they did against Argentina to avoid going home empty-handed.
Walid Regragui has already achieved so much just three months into his job as Morocco manager but having gone so deep into the competition it would be cruel for his side to go back to Casablanca empty-handed. A nightmare start against a France squad full of world-class players wasn’t what they deserved, but they did have their chances and the game was only settled late on. Impressive performances once again from the previously unheralded midfield duo of Sofyan Amrabat and Azzedine Ounahi saw the Atlas Lions surprisingly dominate possession against the World Champions and may see them move to some leading European clubs.
The Croatia vs Morocco live stream is the culmination of two unfancied sides having incredible tournaments and it would be a disservice to dismiss it as a mere warm-up. Make sure to watch.
Croatia vs Morocco team news
Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic confirmed after the semi-final defeat that midfielder Marcelo Brozovic came off because of a thigh injury and unsurprisingly is dropped from the starting XI here. In total there are five changes from the side that crashed out to Argentina: Josip Juranovic, Dejan Lovren, Borna Sosa, Marcelo Brozovic and Mario Pasalic are all out. In their places come Josip Stanisic, Josip Sutalo, Mislav Orsic, Marko Livaja and Lovro Majer. No surprise that Luka Modric starts and captains the team in what will likely be his last ever World Cup game.
Against France, injuries finally caught up to a Moroccan squad that had overcome some of the toughest fixtures imaginable. Captain Roman Saiss limped off after twenty minutes and isn't fit to play today against Croatia. There are three changes from the side that lost to France, with Abdelhamid Sabiri, Yahya Attiat-Allah and Bilal El Khannouss all coming in from the start. Key players Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi will want to cap impressive individual tournaments with another historic win
Here's how they line up:
Croatia: Livakovic, Stanisic, Gvardiol, Sutalo, Majer, Kovacic, Modric, Perisic, Livaja, Orsic, Kramaric.
Morocco: Bounou, Hakimi, Dari, El Yamiq, Attiat-Allah, Amrabat, El Khannouss, Ziyech, Sabiri, Boufal, En-Nesyri.
