There are two highly anticipated matches set to take place on August 8th: Colombia vs Jamaica and France vs Morocco. Let’s delve into the details of each game.
Colombia vs Jamaica:
Colombia has had quite an impressive run in the tournament, securing victories against South Korea and Germany. The thrilling climax of their last match saw Manuela Vanegas scoring the decisive winning goal during stoppage time. Having faced a disappointing defeat in their previous appearance in the last 16 back in 2015, Colombia is determined to claim their first-ever victory in the knockout stages of the Women’s World Cup.
On the other hand, Jamaica has been showcasing exceptional skill in maneuvering through tough opponents. They managed to secure goalless draws against France and Brazil, demonstrating their stellar defensive abilities. Their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Panama further solidified their position, placing them commendably in second place in Group F.
This match will mark the third encounter between Colombia and Jamaica. In their previous two matches, Jamaica emerged triumphant with a 2-1 victory in the first match, while Colombia claimed victory with a 2-0 scoreline in the second encounter. Colombia has shown tremendous potential, with only one defeat in their last five matches, boasting a commendable track record on the field.
France vs Morocco:
France’s journey in the tournament has been nothing short of spectacular, particularly in terms of their ability to score goals. They secured victory against Brazil with a 2-1 scoreline and dominated Panama with an impressive 6-3 win, ultimately securing the top spot in Group F. However, their campaign took an unexpected turn with a goalless draw against Jamaica, adding an element of unpredictability to their performance. France’s path to the quarterfinals mirrors their previous two editions, where they achieved a commendable fourth-place finish in 2011.
Morocco’s journey began with a challenging defeat against Germany, with a resounding 6-0 scoreline. However, they displayed remarkable resilience and bounced back. They emerged victorious in their subsequent matches against South Korea and secured an impressive win against the formidable group leaders, Colombia. Despite having only one World Cup appearance compared to France’s five, Morocco has proven to be a formidable opponent.
The head-to-head record between France and Morocco stands at a draw, as they have met on the field only once. France has showcased their prowess by losing just one out of their last 10 matches in 2023. In contrast, Morocco’s recent performance has been less stable, with a less favorable record of losing five out of their last 10 games.

The Colombia vs Jamaica match will kick off on August 8th at 1:30 PM (India time), followed by the France vs Morocco match at 4:30 PM on the same day.
