The 2022 World Cup will come to a close on Sunday at Lusail Stadium with the last game. But Saturday’s match between Croatia and Morocco, deciding who comes in third and fourth, will be played at the Khalifa International Stadium, providing soccer fans plenty of time to get ready for the big event.

The World Cup’s third-place match serves little purpose but might nonetheless be exciting. On Saturday in Qatar, both Croatia and Morocco will take the field with nothing to lose and a desire to gain recognition for their outstanding campaigns.

Professional teams in the World Cup frequently compare their performance to dancing, describing how they were able to find pleasure and rhythm despite the intense pressure they were under. The Moroccan team has beenin the midst of a fairytale, with their run in Qatar exceeding the expectations of any other African or Arab country, despite suffering heartbreak in the Semi-Finals.

For the World Cup, the Knockout Round consists of one-game playoffs. Therefore, there is no opportunity to win the series by taking game two. There is no room for a mistakein this win-or-go-home approach. For Walid Regragui’s squad to grab the World Cup bronze,theymust win in regular time, after extra time, or triumph ina penalty series.
