The teams
Brazil reach the 2026 World Cup through CONMEBOL and have been drawn into Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti and Scotland. Brazil are former world champions, with 5 titles, so they arrive among the favourites rather than the underdogs. Much of the attention will fall on Vinícius Júnior, the team's marquee name.
Morocco reach the 2026 World Cup through CAF and have been drawn into Group C alongside Brazil, Haiti and Scotland. Morocco have yet to win a World Cup, and a strong group stage would already be a notable run.
