Brazil has already scheduled all three group stage matches for the 2026 World Cup, all in June. For fans, this is like a “holiday” in the off-season: a day to stop everything to watch Amarileña on the field.

The first match will be on Saturday, June 13, against Morocco. The team will then return to action on Friday the 19th against Haiti. The last match in the first stage will be held on Wednesday 24th against Scotland.
