FIFA World Cup 2026: Five-time FIFA World Cup champions Brazil will face an underdog side in Egypt in an international friendly as both teams gear up for the 48-team tournament that kickstarts on June 12. The Huntington Bank Field located in Cleveland, Ohio will host the international friendly fixture on June 7, with Brazil starting as overwhelming favourites.
It will be the final friendly match for Brazil before their opening match of FIFA World Cup 2026 against Morocco on June 14 at the MetLife Stadium. The South American football powerhouse will be high on confidence after pummelling Panama 6-2 at the Maracana. However, it was far from a flawless performance as Matheus Cunha conceded an own goal, thereby cancelling out Viniscus Jnr’s opening one netted in the 15 minutes. Hence, they will be looking to finetune these mistakes against Egypt.
As for Egypt, they edged out Russia in their friendly match, thanks to a goal from Mostafa Zico in the 65th minute of the match. Egypt, one of the many nations, which is yet to win the FIFA World Cup, will face a litmus test against Brazil. Mohamed Salah is all set to slot back in the XI after missing the game against Russia.
