Scotland returns to World Cup action for the first time since 1998 as they prepare to face four-time champions Brazil, Morocco and Haiti in Group C. The group presents a fascinating contrast between established powerhouses and underdogs, with Scotland hoping to end their long World Cup absence on a high note. All matches will be played across venues in the USA.

Brazil enters as clear favorites with their star-studded squad featuring Alisson, Casemiro, Vinicius Junior and Neymar under manager Carlo Ancelotti. Scotland's campaign begins against Haiti on June 14 in Foxborough before facing Morocco and Brazil. Morocco reached the semifinals in 2022 and brings experienced players like Achraf Hakimi and Sofyan Amrabat.

Haiti faces an uphill battle but will rely on players like Duckens Nazon and Frantzdy Pierrot to make an impact. The fixtures are spread across Foxborough, Philadelphia, Miami and Atlanta venues. Each team plays three matches with the top two advancing to the knockout stages.

With Brazil's attacking talent and Morocco's defensive solidity, Scotland must navigate carefully. Steve Clarke's side needs positive results against Haiti and Morocco to stand any chance of progressing. The group promises competitive matches as four distinct footballing cultures clash.
