ScotlandvsBrazil

Brazil ran out comfortable winners over Scotland 3–0. Goalscorers — Brazil: Vinicius Junior 7', Vinicius Junior 45'+3, M. Cunha 60'.

Scotland met Brazil in Group C of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at Miami Stadium in Miami Gardens on Wednesday, June 24, 2026. It is one of the six matches in Group C, where the four sides each play three games and the top two advance directly to the Round of 32. With the eight best third-placed teams across the 12 groups also progressing, points here carry real weight from the opening whistle.

Brazil go in ranked 6th in the FIFA World Ranking to Scotland's 43rd — a gap of 37 places that marks Brazil out as clear favourites on paper. It is an inter-confederation meeting — Scotland of UEFA against Brazil of CONMEBOL — the kind of contrast in styles the World Cup exists to stage.

Scotland are one of the oldest footballing nations in the world, having played in the first-ever international match against England in 1872, and their passionate Tartan Army support is renowned worldwide. Scottish football has experienced a revival with the national team qualifying for Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 after decades of absence from major tournaments.

Brazil arrive at the 2026 World Cup determined to end their longest-ever drought without the trophy. The five-time champions have not lifted the World Cup since 2002, and their quarterfinal exit on penalties against Croatia in 2022 was another painful chapter.

Scotland: Scotland have appeared at eight World Cups: 1954, 1958, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990, and 1998. Brazil: Brazil are the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles: 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002.

The match is scheduled at Miami Stadium in Miami Gardens, United States. Kickoff is scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, 2026 at 10:00 PM (06:00 PM ET).
