Brazil are in Group C with Morocco, Haiti, Scotland. Head coach: Carlo Ancelotti (Italy). Captain: Marquinhos + Casemiro (shared). Below: full squad spotlight, fixture-by-fixture US broadcast info, and what to expect.
First foreign coach in Brazil's history — left Real Madrid in 2025 to take the job. Won the Champions League 5 times as a manager. The seleção's 24-year title drought is the only line in his obituary he doesn't want.
Brazil's first non-Brazilian head coach in history is Carlo Ancelotti, hired from Real Madrid in 2025 to break a 24-year title drought. Group C is generous — Morocco is the only credible test. Vinícius Jr., Raphinha, and the returning Neymar (Brazil's all-time top scorer) headline an attack stacked enough to win it all. The questions are about midfield balance and whether Ancelotti can dial back the defensive frailty that has cost Brazil knockout games since 2002. Marquinhos and Casemiro share the captaincy. Ederson replaced the injured Wesley on June 7.
Ceiling: Champions — favorites in any tournament with this much attacking talent.
Floor: Quarterfinal — Brazil hasn't reached a semifinal since 2002 and the recent World Cups have been brutal disappointments.
