Saturday brings an intriguing clash in Group B of the men's Olympic football tournament as Ukraine play Morocco at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Etienne.

Morocco opened their campaign with a huge upset win over Argentina, triumphing 2-1 in a game that included a lengthy delay due to a disputed VAR decision.

Ukraine's first match was more mundane but disappointing for them as they let a 1-0 lead slip in a 2-1 defeat to outsiders Iraq.

Ukraine and Morocco have met just once in international competition, playing out a goalless draw in a friendly fixture on neutral territory in Geneva, Switzerland in May 2018.

They also recently won the Tournoi Maurice Revello friendly tournament in France.

Morocco won the 2023 Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, beating Egypt 2-1 after extra-time in the final.
