Morocco will face France in their World Cup quarter-final on Thursday in Boston, where kickoff temperatures are expected to remain above 30°C.
The match at Boston Stadium is scheduled for 16:00 local time, 21:00 in Morocco and 22:00 in France.
The forecast points to difficult but manageable conditions for the Atlas Lions, with around 31°C expected at kickoff, light wind, a mix of sunshine and clouds, and no rain during the game.
The heat will be less severe than the conditions France faced in Philadelphia in their previous knockout match against Paraguay, but it remains a factor for both teams as they chase a place in the semi-finals.
For Morocco, the fixture carries added weight as a repeat of the 2022 World Cup semi-final, when France ended the Atlas Lions’ historic run in Qatar.
