FIFA World Cup 26™: What to look out for in Brazil v Morocco 🇧🇷🇲🇦 | OneFootball

Brazil and Morocco will go head to head at the start of their Group C campaign.

Here's everything you need to look out for on the third day of World Cup 2026™ action.

Who is playing today? 👀

MetLife Stadium hosts an intriguing meeting on Saturday.

The Atlas Lions, one of the surprise packages at the last tournament and recently awarded the Africa Cup of Nations, qualified with a flawless record of eight wins and some astonishing performances from the likes of Brahim Díaz and Ismael Saibari.

Carlo Ancelotti's Seleção, meanwhile, went through a chaotic campaign which was only remedied once the decorated Italian took the reins just over 12 months ago.

Players to watch 🔥

Vinícius Júnior may continue to lead the line but Endrick is the player who stands to gain the most from Ancelotti's Real Madrid connection with Brazil's national side.

The teenager's ostracisation at the Bernabéu proved to be a turning point as a loan spell at Lyon elevated his standing with 12 goal involvements in 17 Ligue 1 outings.

He has been similarly impactful on the international stage with a star turn off the bench, tipping the balance in the friendly win over Croatia in March.

No Morocco player summed up their selfless commitment to the cause better than  Noussair Mazraoui did during their run to the semi-final stage in the FIFA World Cup 2022™. 

The Manchester United defender played through the pain barrier and continues to offer them both endurance and versatility heading into this tournament.

His ability to operate in a variety of roles across the back four means it won't be a binary choice with captain Achraf Hakimi for the automatic right-back position.

Endrick was in superb form in Ligue 1 last season.
