Brazil and Morocco will clash in the opening match of Group C at the 2026 World Cup at the New Jersey Stadium. Brazil, five-time world champions, are considered one of the strong contenders entering the tournament, while Morocco aims to replicate the semifinal achievement they reached four years ago in Qatar.
Carlo Ancelotti is at the helm for Brazil. The team drew attention by winning all their warm-up matches consecutively before arriving in North America.
Morocco scored five goals against Burundi and found the net four times against Madagascar, before drawing 1-1 with Norway. This result showed that the team could not fully maintain its momentum in the final test before the tournament.
