In the 2026 World Cup, Brazil is placed in Group C alongside Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti. Coach Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged that the path ahead is “challenging.” He highlighted Morocco’s impressive performance in the 2022 semifinals and warned that Brazil needs serious preparation to finish first in the group.
Ancelotti pointed out that Morocco poses a significant threat. He mentioned that Morocco’s disciplined and aggressive style in the Qatar World Cup made them one of the toughest teams. He also described Scotland as “very consistent” and “quite tough,” acknowledging their progress in the qualification matches after a 28-year absence from the World Cup.
The coach emphasized that Brazil must “prepare well and aim to win the group.” Their World Cup campaign begins against Morocco on June 13, followed by matches against Haiti six days later and Scotland on June 24. Although Brazil has a strong historical reputation, Ancelotti’s remarks suggest there are no easy matches in this group.
