Bulgarian legend Hristo Stoichkov was in attendance for Brazil's convincing 3-0 victory over Scotland, a win that secured the five-time world champions first place in Group C of the 2026 World Cup.
Early in the match, television cameras focused on the VIP box at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. There, Stoichkov was seen in the company of a host of footballing greats, including Cafu, Bebeto, Christian Karembeu, Kaká, Pepe, Ronaldo, and Dejan Savićević. Legendary manager Arsène Wenger and FIFA President Gianni Infantino were also present.
This isn't the only World Cup match "The Dagger" has attended. He was present for the opening game at the Azteca, where hosts Mexico defeated South Africa 2-0, as well as for the previous two matches in Miami, which saw Uruguay draw 1-1 with Saudi Arabia and 2-2 with Cape Verde.
