Brazil faces Haiti in a crucial Group C clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This exciting group stage encounter will take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, USA. The match will be officiated by experienced Spanish referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández, marking his official World Cup debut.
In their opening fixtures, neither team secured the desired results. Brazil drew 1-1 with Morocco, while Haiti suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat to Scotland. The stakes for this match are incredibly high: the "Seleção" desperately needs a win to regain control of the group and ensure a smoother path to the knockout stages. For Haiti, the underdog, any points earned would represent a historic first achievement at a World Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti has made only two changes to his squad compared to the first match against Morocco. Matheus Cunha starts up front in place of Igor Thiago. Veteran Danilo will feature at right-back, replacing Roger Ibañez. Vinicius Junior and Raphinha will occupy the wings, with Lucas Paquetá taking on the role of playmaker. The central midfield pivot will be formed by Bruno Guimarães and Casemiro.
Haiti, on the other hand, will rely on Frantzdy Pierrot as their lone striker. Josué Casimir and Ruben Providence will operate on the flanks, while Jean Jacques Donle and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will partner in central midfield.
BRAZIL: Alisson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Magalhães, Santos, Casemiro, Guimarães, Paquetá, Raphinha, Vinicius, Cunha
HAITI: Placide, Carlens, Ade, Duverne, Delcroix, Experience, Providence, Bellegarde, Donle, Casimir, Pierrot
