Brazil and Morocco played to a 1-1 draw to open their Group C campaigns at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Morocco's national football team is playing against Brazil today at the New York Stadium, but it is in the headlines not just because of its performances on the pitch.

Brazil start their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign against Morocco at the New Jersey Stadium.

If Brazil do win their group, they'll come up against a runner-up from Group F, which is likely to be one of the Netherlands, Japan or Sweden. The match would take place on 29 June at the NRG Stadium, in Houston, with each team possibly presenting different problems for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

The long wait is over as the United States men's national team begins its World Cup campaign against a defensively stout Paraguay side at Los Angeles Stadium.

A marching band struck up the music before being joined by singers including Future, Tyla, Anitta and K-pop star Lisa.
