Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti says the Seleção should expect a demanding test from Morocco and Scotland at the 2026 World Cup.

The five-time world champions have been drawn into Group C alongside Scotland, Haiti, and Morocco.

Brazil will open their tournament against Morocco on June 13, face Haiti on June 19, and conclude the group stage with Scotland on June 24.

Speaking after the draw on Friday, Ancelotti emphasised the need for thorough preparation ahead of the competition.

“Morocco were very good during the last World Cup” in Qatar, Ancelotti told Brazilian television outlet Sportv.

“Scotland are a solid team, very solid, (it will be) pretty difficult.

“We have to prepare well and try to win the group,” Ancelotti added.
