These two nations first met at this level of football in 2004 where Morocco secured a 2-1 victory but the duo's next meeting in October of last year ended with Iraq claiming a 1-0 win.
Morocco Olympic preview: Disappointing against Ukraine
Morocco will be very disappointed not to have at least four points on the board following their last game against Ukraine.
The Eastern Europeans took the lead in the 22nd minute and led by that goal at the halfway point. However, the game seemed to swing in favour of the North Africans when Volodymyr Salyuk gave away a penalty and was sent off for Ukraine and Soufiane Rahimi converted the spot-kick in the 64th minute to level the scores.
Morocco pushed and pushed for a winning goal but deep into stoppage time it was Ukraine that created one last chance to win the game which Ihor Krasnopir scored, dramatically winning the game for the 10 men.
Predicted lineup: Mohamedi (GK), Hakimi, El Ouahdi, Boukamir, El Azzouzi, Targhalline, El Khannouss, Richardson, Ben Seghir, Rahimi & Ezzalzouli

Iraq Olympic preview: Outclassed by Argentina
Iraq gave a decent account of themselves in the first half against Argentina, despite going a goal behind in the 14th minute.
Aymen Hussein equalised for Iraq in first-half stoppage-time but the second 45 belonged to the South Americans who scored twice to wrap up a 3-1 victory.

Player to watch – Soufiane Rahimi
Morocco's 28-year-old striker has led by example at the 2024 Olympics where he currently top scores with three goals.
Rahimi, who has never played for a European club, left his homeland in 2021 to join UAE side Al Ain where he has regularly scored goals over the last three seasons.
Already has three goals to his name at the 2024 Olympics
The Al Ain forward has represented his senior national team on ten occasions but has only scored once but his impact for Morocco at the 2024 Olympics has made him a hero with the fans. We're backing Rahimi to put in another impressive performance for Morocco in their final group game against Iraq, but will it be enough to see the North Africans progress?
