Latest schedule, standings, team notes, and qualification picture for Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti.
As of April 3, 2026, Group C brings together Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti. The section has a clear favorite on paper, but the race behind that top line still looks open enough to produce one of the sharper qualification battles.
Brazil bring elite expectation, Morocco arrive with strong recent tournament credibility, Scotland add intensity and set-piece pressure, and Haiti offer pace and disruption that can punish any slow start.
As of April 3, 2026, no Group C match has been played, so all four teams start level on zero points and zero goal difference. The table below will begin to separate once the section opens on June 13, 2026.
Brazil enter Group C with the deepest expectation in the section and will be measured against first place rather than simple qualification. The standard question is not whether they can control matches, but how quickly they can impose themselves.
Morocco no longer look like a side that can be brushed aside in major tournaments. Their structure, discipline, and belief give them a strong platform to target a top-two finish in this group.
Scotland bring urgency, aggression, and a set-piece edge that can make tight matches swing quickly. Their path is likely to depend on turning direct group rivals into physical, uncomfortable contests.
Haiti come in as the group outsider, but their pace and transition threat still give them upset value. If they stay organized without the ball, they can make this section less predictable than it looks.
