Morocco will be competing in their seventh World Cup, coming fresh off a historic fourth-place finish in Qatar.

Scotland will be playing at their ninth FIFA World Cup, making their first appearance in 28 years since they last competed in 1998. Their best run has never seen them cross the group stage.

Groups A to L feature a mix of traditional heavyweights, historic rivalries, and four tournament debutants. Under the expanded 48-team format, the top two teams from each group plus the eight best third-place finishers will advance to the Round of 32.
