Brazil

The Brazil national football team (Portuguese: Seleção Brasileira de Futebol) enters the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the most successful nation in tournament history with five titles (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002). After two consecutive quarter-final exits in 2018 and 2022, Brazil is determined to end their 24-year wait for a sixth World Cup trophy.

2026 World Cup Prospects

Brazil boasts one of the most exciting young squads in world football. The "Real Madrid Connection" — Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and teenage sensation Endrick — leads the attack with devastating pace and technical brilliance. Vinícius Jr., the Ballon d'Or contender, has emerged as Brazil's talisman and biggest hope for glory.

Under coach Dorival Júnior, Brazil has returned to their traditional "Jogo Bonito" (Beautiful Game) philosophy while maintaining tactical discipline. The squad depth is exceptional, with world-class options in every position.

Group C Analysis

Brazil has been drawn into Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland. While Brazil are favorites, each opponent presents unique challenges:

• Morocco — The 2022 semifinalists who shocked the world in Qatar. Their organized defense and counter-attacking prowess make this match a blockbuster. This could be the match of the group stage.
• Haiti — CONCACAF qualifiers making their second World Cup appearance. They bring Caribbean flair and passionate support.
• Scotland — A physical, well-organized European side. Their fans create an incredible atmosphere and they'll be up for this challenge.

Match Venues

Brazil's group stage matches are scheduled at premier East Coast venues:

• Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia) — vs Morocco (the match of the group stage!)
• Gillette Stadium (Boston) — vs Haiti
• MetLife Stadium (New York/NJ) — vs Scotland (at the venue hosting the Final!)

Playing at MetLife Stadium in the group stage could give Brazil valuable experience at the Final venue.

CONMEBOL Rivals & Potential Clashes

Brazil's South American rivals are all dangerous opponents. The classic matchups fans dream of:

• Argentina — The eternal superclássico. Brazil will want revenge for Argentina's 2022 triumph
• Colombia — Always a fierce battle when these South American giants meet
• Uruguay — Historic rivalry dating back to the 1950 World Cup final heartbreak
• Ecuador — Rising South American force that has troubled Brazil in qualifiers
• Paraguay — Always a physical, competitive affair

World Cup History

Brazil is the only nation to have won 5 World Cups and the only team to have played in every World Cup since 1930. Their golden generation of 1970 — featuring Pelé, Jairzinho, and Rivelino — is considered the greatest team ever assembled. The 2002 triumph, led by Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo, marked their last title.
