Morocco and Croatia both competed in the third-place play-off, which the Atlas Lions lost 2-1.

“We’re still waiting for Hakim and Mateo. They went to the third/fourth place play-off and played the games, so they were in high demand.

“It’s critical to give them some breathing room. As a result, they will not be available for the game.
