Total price of 2 billion! The first quarter-final match of the World Cup is set, where the top 4 from the previous tournament will face off again, with Mbappe taking on his close friend.

On July 5th, Beijing time, two World Cup round of 16 matches were played first, with Morocco and France eliminating Canada and Paraguay, respectively, advancing to the quarter-finals. As a result, the first set of quarter-final matches for this World Cup has been officially announced. Morocco, ranked 6th in the world, will once again take on the world's No. 1 team, France, after facing them in the previous tournament's semi-finals.【Watch the World Cup on Migu Video】

The only previous World Cup encounter between the two teams occurred in the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, where France defeated Morocco 2-0 thanks to goals from Theo and Muani, eventually losing to Argentina in the final to finish as runners-up, while Morocco lost to Croatia in the third-place match to end up in fourth place.

Four years later, both teams remain highly competitive. France's total squad value exceeds 1.5 billion euros, while Morocco also boasts a squad worth over 400 million euros, making them the most valuable team among non-European and non-South American countries.

Although France has the advantage in strength, Morocco is undoubtedly the toughest opponent they have faced since the start of the tournament.

It is worth noting that French captain Mbappe will once again face his close friend, Hakimi. The two have been great friends since their time playing together at Paris Saint-Germain.

After the meeting, Mbappe admitted that he was very happy to reunite with Hakimi: "I think he's already sent me a message. We'll focus. We know they're a very good team. We're very happy to play them."

This highly anticipated match will kick off at 4:00 AM Beijing time on July 10th.
