According to the draw results for the 2026 World Cup, Brazil - the 5-time world champion - is in Group C with Morocco, Haiti and Scotland. According to the schedule, Brazil will face Morocco (June 13), Haiti (June 19) and Scotland (June 24).
It can be seen right in the opening match, coach Carlo Ancelotti and his team had to face the most formidable opponent in group C, Morocco.
European representatives with Noussair Mazraoui, Achraf Hakimi, Sofyan Amrabat, Brahim Diaz.... have reached the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.
Meanwhile, the German team in group E has a fairly favorable schedule when they meet teams from weak to strong.
Accordingly, the German "tank" will face Curacao (June 14) in the opening match, then meet Ivory Coast (June 20) and play the final group stage match against Ecuador (June 25).
The same is true for Spain in Group H. The Spanish team has a "ladder-shaped" schedule of matches against opponents of increasing strength. Lamine Yamal and his teammates will play the opening match against World Cup newcomer Cabo Verde (June 15), then face Saudi Arabia (June 21) and Uruguay (June 26).
It can be seen from the schedule that the final match against Uruguay could be a battle for the top spot in the table.

World runners-up France are set to face a tough group stage fixture at the 2026 World Cup. Kylian Mbappe and his teammates will face Senegal (June 16). After this tough opening match, Didier Deschamps' team will face one of the teams Bolivia/Suriname/Iraq (June 22).
In the final match on June 26, France will face Erling Haaland's Norway. This is likely to be the final match of the group. This is also a match that attracts a lot of attention when Mbappe competes with Haaland.
In Group J, defending champion Argentina will face Algeria (June 16), Austria (June 22), and Jordan (June 27). This is a relatively easy group for Argentina, but Lionel Messi and his teammates cannot be complacent.
Next up is Portugal in Group K. Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal are expected to have an easy opening match on June 17 when they only have to face New Caledonia/Jamaica/Republic of Congo. After that, Portugal will face Uzbekistan (June 23) and Colombia (June 27).
Finally, England are in Group K. The Three Lions are expected to have a challenging group stage when they have to face Croatia (June 17), Ghana (June 23) and Panama (June 27). It can be seen that the schedule of coach Thomas Tuchel's team is in an inverted pyramid with opponents of decreasing strength.
