Group F

Brazil

vs

Morocco

Historic rivalry — 5 meetings

This is the marquee match of Group F. Morocco's 2022 semi-final run changed African football forever, and they made more history by beating Brazil 2-1 in Tangier in March 2023 — their first-ever win over the Seleção. Brazil will want revenge. Morocco will want to prove 2022 was no fluke. A clash of continents, cultures, and ambitions.

Brazil

vs

Scotland

Notable matchup — 5 meetings

Scotland have faced Brazil three times at World Cups — more than most nations. Their famous 0-0 draw in 1974 remains a point of pride, but they've never beaten Brazil. The Tartan Army will travel in massive numbers regardless of the odds. Scotland's best World Cup moment may be simply taking the pitch against the 5-time champions.

Haiti

First ever meeting

Scotland's Tartan Army and Haiti's Grenadiers could create one of the tournament's most memorable atmospheres. This match may decide which team has any chance of advancing from the Group of Death.

Brazil are overwhelming favorites, but Haiti's mere presence at the World Cup is already a victory for Caribbean football.
