Brazil open their tournament against Morocco. Scotland brings strong European qualifying consistency. Brazil and Morocco have the history and edge to qualify
Five-time champions Brazil and 2022 semifinalists Morocco are favorites, facing a gritty Scotland and debutants Haiti.
Brazil will be competing at their 22nd FIFA World Cup, holding the unique record of appearing in every single edition, with their best finishes being five historic titles. The South American powerhouse was at the last tournament in Qatar.
Haiti will be competing at their second World Cup, making a highly anticipated return since their tournament debut back in 1974, where they failed to advance past the group stage.
Morocco will be competing in their seventh World Cup, coming fresh off a historic fourth-place finish in Qatar.
Scotland will be playing at their ninth FIFA World Cup, making their first appearance in 28 years since they last competed in 1998. Their best run has never seen them cross the group stage.
The favorites to finish top two in this group are Brazil and Morocco, while Scotland may qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.
Groups A to L feature a mix of traditional heavyweights, historic rivalries, and four tournament debutants. Under the expanded 48-team format, the top two teams from each group plus the eight best third-place finishers will advance to the Round of 32.
