The opening match arrives with Brazil drawn into Group C for the expanded tournament. The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup kicked off Thursday, June 11, with the first game held in Mexico. The tournament is scheduled to run through Sunday, July 19, with the final set for New York City.
Morocco figures to provide a stiff test in Brazil's first outing. Much of the pre match attention is on Vinicius Junior, the star winger who appears positioned to carry Brazil through the group stage and beyond.
Nike has also released a Brazil 2026 World Cup home replica jersey tied to Vinicius Junior. The kit features Brazil's yellow and green colors, an embroidered team crest, and Nike's moisture wicking Dri FIT technology.
