Stale Solbakken condemns Scotland over late friendly cancellation before Brazil group clash

Brazil open their World Cup 2026 campaign against Morocco on Saturday 13 at 19:00 Brasília time at MetLife Stadium. Meanwhile, Norway head coach Stale Solbakken has condemned Scotland, another group opponent, over a late friendly cancellation. The match had been scheduled for Monday 8.

"It was surprising to me. I consider it unprofessional from Scotland." He told NRK.

"It is amateur that the coach did not call me, that they used the team manager and phoned after we had finished the session. I do not think the injuries they are blaming came from the last training session. That is not the case."

Brazil face Scotland on 24 June at 19:00 Brasília time at Hard Rock Stadium in the third round of the group stage.

There is an expectation that Brazil will go into that fixture already qualified for the knockout phase.
