The 2026 FIFA World Cup has seen two countries make history. Norway has reached the quarter-finals for the first time ever, while Morocco is there for the second time.
Norway pulled off a huge surprise by beating five-time champions Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16. This win secured their historic spot in the last eight.
This victory marks Norway's best-ever performance at the World Cup and adds to their amazing journey in the tournament.
Morocco also made history by winning 3-0 against Canada in the Round of 16. The North African team will now play in the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time.
This shows how Morocco is becoming a strong force in international football.
Switzerland also made it to the quarter-finals after beating Colombia on penalties following a goalless match.
But unlike Norway and Morocco, Switzerland is familiar with this stage. They last reached the World Cup quarter-finals in 1954.
Now that the quarter-final teams are set, the tournament includes a mix of well-known football giants and new faces. Norway and Morocco are the surprise teams in this competition.
