Five-time champions Brazil open their 2026 World Cup campaign against a dangerous Morocco side in Group C on 14 June.
Head-to-head
The two nations have met three times: Brazil won two matches, Morocco won one, with no draws recorded. Brazil have scored six goals to Morocco’s two across these encounters.
This will be their second meeting at a World Cup. Brazil historically dominate, but Morocco’s recent victory shows they can be a serious threat on their day.
Team News
Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil boast a star-studded squad with key players like Vinicius Jr. and Raphinha.
However, Neymar is an injury doubt ahead of the South American giants' opening Group C game.
Meanwhile, Morocco, now under coach Mohamed Ouahbi, will rely on their disciplined structure, as Hakim Ziyech missing from the squad.
Captain and star right-back Achraf Hakimi is expected to be fully fit, alongside key attackers.
Key Players
Vinicius Jr. is Brazil’s ultimate weapon—explosive pace, dazzling dribbling, clinical finishing, and creativity make him the focal point.
The Real Madrid superstar will be central to Ancelotti’s attacking plans in front of a global audience.
Achraf Hakimi, on the other hand, leads Morocco’s charge, and the PSG right-back offers world-class overlapping runs, defensive solidity, and goal threat.
His energy and leadership will be vital for counter-attacks and frustrating Brazil’s stars.
Quotes
“Yes, Morocco is the most dangerous team in the group," said Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti about Morocco.
"They play quality football, they’re on a roll with great results, they were incredible at the World Cup and they have an excellent coach. We respect Morocco a lot — they are a very organized and dangerous team.
"We need to be at our best from the first minute.”
