France-Morocco: the quarterfinal broadcast in the largest fan zone in the 78

It's in Carrières-sous-Poissy, in the Yvelines (78), that the department's biggest football rendezvous of the World Cup 2026 unfolded. This Thursday, July 9, 2026, the fan zone set up on the Louis-Armand Esplanade will broadcast the quarter-final France vs Morocco on a giant screen, with a capacity of 2,000 seats, making it the largest venue recorded in the department.

Where to watch France vs. Morocco on a giant screen in Yvelines?

After thrilling the Carriérois fans from France–Senegal in the World Cup opener, the town keeps the momentum as the Blues’ run continues. And what a run: five wins from five, including a hard-fought Round of 16 against Paraguay (1-0), sealed by a penalty from Kylian Mbappé.

Across the pitch, Morocco is coming in hot. The Atlas Lions knocked the Netherlands out on penalties before cruising past Canada 3-0 in the Round of 16. The clash naturally smells of a grudge match: it replays the 2022 World Cup semifinal, won then by the French side. That should promise a fiery atmosphere on the esplanade, at a secured, family-friendly venue that also suits groups of friends.

What’s on for the France–Morocco evening in Carrières-sous-Poissy?

The Ville de Carrières-sous-Poissy opens the site from 8:30 PM, on Louis-Armand Street, with entertainment, a food truck and a bar to wait out the pre-match period. The France-Morocco match kicks off at 10 PM, French time, from the Gillette Stadium in Boston, and will also be live on M6 for those at home.

Entry remains free, subject to the 2,000 places available, and you’re advised to arrive early: the Blues’ marquee evenings tend to sell out quickly. Louis-Armand Esplanade sits about 30 minutes from Paris by public transport.
