I think that looks cool, but, at a glance? It’s a little wild. France and Morocco both have just single colors for their first section, which doesn’t look great, imo. Also the merge from a singular flag to the Finals match having their own flag is a bit odd, imo.

Yeah I agree with flags instead. Love this chart style, though. It’s always used for NFL playoffs and March madness final 16 bracket, and think it works really well in single elimination tournaments. Easy to follow.

One thing I noticed, I think the country names on the bottom should be flipped so they are not upside down. The logos on the bottom half aren’t flipped upside down to face towards the center, so I don’t see why the names should be either.
