About 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.
Team Base Camp
🇺🇸 USA
Base camp
Morristown, New Jersey
A Seleção base at a private training complex in northern New Jersey, a short drive from MetLife Stadium where they play one of their Group C matches. The CBF historically prefers tightly-controlled media access, and this setup delivers.
Per FIFA regulations (§18.3), Brazil stays at this base camp for the entire group stage and travels to each match venue one day before kickoff (and returns the same night or the next day).
Distance to each group-stage match
