The United States men's Under-23 soccer team was eliminated from the Olympic tournament after suffering a 4-0 defeat to Morocco in the quarterfinals at Parc des Princes. The Moroccan team, supported by a passionate crowd, dominated the match with goals from Soufiane Rahimi, Ilias Akhomach, Achraf Hakimi, and Mehdi Maouhoub, who scored two penalties. This victory marks Morocco's first-ever progression to the Olympic men's football semifinals, where they will face the winner of the Japan vs. Spain match. The U.S. had previously celebrated qualifying for the quarterfinals for the first time since 2000 but struggled against Morocco's high-pressure tactics and strong offensive play. U.S. head coach Marko Mitrović emphasized the experience gained from this tournament, despite the disappointing result. Morocco is now seen as a serious contender for the gold medal, having topped their group and showcased a formidable performance throughout the competition.
