The brazil win on -13 fixture opens Group C, which also features Scotland and Haiti alongside Morocco. Matches will be staged across the United States in Foxborough, Miami, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Atlanta, with Brazil-Morocco scheduled for Saturday, June 13 as the group's first fixture. Scotland, returning to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, will face Haiti the following day.

Ancelotti confirmed on May 31, 2026 that forward Neymar is on track to recover in time for the tournament, addressing the squad's most-watched fitness question ahead of the brazil win on -13 opener. Brazil sit among the favored nations to reach the semifinals in the latest tournament odds, alongside defending champions Argentina, France and England, in a 48-team format requiring survival through a knockout path of up to seven matches. The Morocco opener will be the first competitive test of Ancelotti's tactical system, with the Italian having taken charge of the national side earlier in 2026 after leaving Real Madrid. A victory in the brazil win on -13 fixture would position the Seleção for top spot in Group C heading into matches against Scotland and Haiti. [Reuters, May 31]
