About This Match
Brazil face Japan in the Round of 32 on Monday, June 29, 2026. Brazil are ranked #6 in the world and managed by Dorival Júnior; Japan sit at #18 under Hajime Moriyasu. The match kicks off at 19:00 local time at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey.
Brazil
Brazil, the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles, arrive at 2026 hungry to end a 24-year wait for a sixth star. Under Dorival Júnior, the Seleção boast one of the most exciting attacking units in world football, led by Real Madrid's electric Vinicius Jr and the emerging young superstar Endrick. Group C alongside Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti looks very manageable, and Brazil will be heavy favourites to top the group and challenge deep into the tournament. A quarter-century without a title has brought unusual scrutiny to Brazilian football, but the talent in this squad has the potential to silence the doubters.
Read Brazil preview →Japan
Japan arrive at World Cup 2026 as Asia's form team, having won every match in their final Asian qualification round and consistently punching above their weight on the global stage. The Blue Samurai, under the experienced Hajime Moriyasu, famously beat both Germany and Spain at Qatar 2022 in what was one of the tournament's most shocking upsets. Group F places Japan alongside the Netherlands, Tunisia, and Sweden - a group where they can legitimately challenge for a top-two finish. With Premier League regulars like Kaoru Mitoma and Wataru Endo complementing domestic J-League stars, Japan's technical quality continues to grow with each World Cup cycle.
