Brazil opened its FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign with a hard-fought draw against Morocco in Group C at New York New Jersey Stadium. The match pitted Brazil’s weight of history against a Moroccan side eager to build on recent international success. Led by coach Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil returned to U.S. soil for a World Cup match for the first time since its 1994 triumph. Morocco, spearheaded by stars such as Achraf Hakimi, matched Brazil’s intensity throughout a fiery contest. Despite moments of quality from Vinícius Júnior and Morocco’s disciplined display, neither side found a breakthrough, settling for a share of the points.
