In the clash against Scotland, Brazil will wrap up its participation in the 2026 World Cup group stage on Wednesday (24) at a stadium that hosted the final of the last Copa América, matches in the 2025 Club World Cup, and six Super Bowls: Hard Rock Stadium. At the venue located in Miami, Florida, the match will kick off at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) and features two national teams battling for the top positions in Group C.

This will be Brazil’s fourth match at Hard Rock. On November 16, 2013, Brazil made its first visit to the stadium, which at the time was called Sun Life Stadium. On that occasion, it thrashed Honduras 5-0, with goals from Bernard, Dante, Maicon, Willian, and Hulk. It was in that match that Marquinhos made his debut for the team.

The following year, Brazil returned to Miami, when it took the field for the first time after the 2014 World Cup. It beat Colombia 1-0 on September 5, with a Neymar free-kick goal. It returned to the stadium five years later, on September 6, 2019, for another meeting with the Colombians. That time, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, with goals from Casemiro and Neymar.
