With this summer's tournament well underway, we've taken a look back at the last ten teams to have finished fourth at the World Cup.
In Qatar four years ago, Morocco made history as the first African team ever to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup.
After a goalless draw against Croatia in their opening game, the Atlas Lions claimed wins over Belgium and Canada to earn their place in the knockout stage.
Wins over European heavyweights Spain and Portugal followed in the round of 16 and quarter final respectively, before they were beaten by France.
While Morocco made history by surpassing expectations to reach the final four, they are far from the only team to have done so in the World Cup.
In 2002 South Korea became the first Asian to reach the semi-finals, doing so on home soil in 2002 in what marked just their sixth appearance at the finals.
The third-place play-off for the 2026 World Cup in North America will take place on 18 July, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
