GROUP C — FIFA WORLD CUP 2026
The Teams
The Fixtures
Group Analysis
Brazil are five-time world champions who have not lifted the trophy since 2002 — the longest drought in their history. Under enormous national pressure, they arrive in 2026 built around Vinícius Júnior, the Real Madrid superstar who has established himself as one of the two or three best players on the planet. Raphinha, Endrick, and Rodrygo (injury permitting) provide devastating support. Brazil open against Morocco in Foxborough — the tournament’s most anticipated Group C clash.
Morocco made history in Qatar 2022 — the first African nation ever to reach a World Cup semi-final. That was not a fluke. Achraf Hakimi at right back is arguably the best attacking full-back in the world at Paris Saint-Germain. Hakim Ziyech and Azzedine Ounahi provide the creativity. Their defensive discipline is elite. Morocco will push Brazil all the way for first place.
Scotland return to the World Cup for the first time since France 1998 — a 28-year wait ended. Scott McTominay has become one of Europe’s most important midfielders since joining Napoli. Scotland won’t beat Brazil, but a famous result against Morocco is entirely possible.
Haiti represent one of the most remarkable stories of the entire qualification campaign. The Grenadiers play their second-ever World Cup and will be every neutral’s adopted second team.
🎯 PREDICTION: WHO ADVANCES?
1st: Brazil — too much quality. 2nd: Morocco — Africa’s finest will make the last 32. Brazil vs Morocco is the group’s defining match.
