Brazil
Seleção
Brazil are the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles and the only side to appear at every edition. Synonymous with attacking flair, they remain a fixture among the pre-tournament favourites.
Brazil’s group path
Brazil starts in Group C with Morocco, Scotland, Haiti. They enter the group as the #1 team by MatchupSim power rating, which makes the finishing position especially important: first place, second place and a possible third-place route can each send them into a very different round-of-32 matchup.

2026 outlook
Chasing a first title since 2002, Brazil head a strong Group C with the talent to go all the way — but also the weight of expectation after recent quarterfinal heartbreaks.
Prediction angles to test
Start with a favorites run, then test one aggressive version where Brazil wins Group C and one conservative version where they finish lower in the table. Comparing those paths shows whether their best chance comes from group control, a softer runner-up route, or surviving as one of the best third-place teams.
