Day 24 sees the last-16 stages begin, and again co-hosts Canada are first up. They welcome Morocco to Houston for the first of the day’s game, in what will be their toughest test yet.

The Africa Cup of Nations champions represent a significant step up from a quite poor South Africa side.

The winner will face the victors between France and Paraguay.

Les Blues are the tournament favourites after cruising in to the round of 16, but face a Paraguay side who saw off Germany in a penalty shootout last time out.

In the UK, Canada vs Morocco is being shown live and free-to-air on ITV1, with coverage beginning at 5.15pm BST ahead of a 6pm kick-off.
