Group C analysis
Group C is the headline group of 2026 — Brazil vs Morocco is the rematch everyone wants after Morocco's stunning 2022 semifinal run. Brazil are five-time champions but endured a turbulent qualifying campaign, finishing only 5th in CONMEBOL. Morocco under Regragui are a genuine force and will fancy their chances of topping the group.
Haiti's qualification is one of the great stories of 2026 — their first World Cup since 1974. They face a daunting task but the experience alone is historic. Scotland return to the World Cup after missing 2022 and bring Premier League quality in Robertson and Adams. The Scotland vs Morocco clash is a potential group-decider.
