Scotland vs Brazil official lineups, Wednesday, 24 June 2026, World Cup Group C
The FIFA World Cup Group C match between Scotland and Brazil is set for Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM PDT, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. Scotland will likely need at least a draw or a win to achieve their first-ever advancement to the knockout stages. Brazil, on the other hand, comes into the match as the clear favorite for the tournament.
What’s at Stake?
The Situation for Scotland: After a victory over Haiti and a loss to Morocco, Scotland currently has 3 points. A draw against Brazil should be sufficient to help them qualify for the knockout phase as one of the best third-placed teams.
Brazil’s Position: Under the management of Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil aims to clinch the top position in Group C. They recently secured a 3-0 win against Haiti.
Head-to-Head History:
This match marks the fifth encounter between these two nations in a World Cup group stage. They had previously met in 1974, 1982, 1990, 1998, and now in 2026. Scotland has yet to achieve a victory over Brazil in any World Cup competitive match.
