The match is set for Thursday, June 18, 2026, at Boston Stadium.
According to a report by Sky Sports, a win for head coach Steve Clarke's squad would erase the memories of a 28-year tournament drought.
That drought began after a 3-0 loss to Morocco during France 98, which marked Scotland's last World Cup appearance until their recent victory against Haiti.
The upcoming fixture presents a significant challenge.
Morocco reached the World Cup semi-finals three and a half years ago in Qatar.
They currently hold the seventh spot in the world rankings and feature Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi as captain.

Steve Clarke will achieve a personal milestone during the match by taking charge of his 80th game as Scotland national team head coach.
The team previously demonstrated its competitive capability under Clarke.
They secured a 0-0 draw against England at Euro 2020 and defeated Spain during the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
Tens of thousands of Scottish supporters, collectively known as the Tartan Army, have traveled to Greater Boston and Rhode Island.
They have transformed local landmarks like Fenway Park ahead of the match at Boston Stadium.

The traveling fans plan to hold a minute's applause during the 76th minute of the match to honor Donny Strathie, an avid Scotland supporter who passed away in Boston while following the team.
