Both sides have high hopes heading into the World Cup 2026, with Brazil among the favourites to lift the trophy for the first time since 2002.
Morocco will also believe that they can replicate the exceptional form that saw them reach the semi-finals four years ago in Qatar.
With serial winner Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, Brazil have shown significant signs of improvement and arrive in North America on the back of three consecutive victories in friendlies.
Morocco had also impressed as they put five past Burundi and scored four against Madagascar, but they were held to a 1-1 draw against Norway in their final warm-up game.

Brazil vs Morocco: Match Preview
Brazil may have maintained their record of playing at every World Cup by qualifying for this tournament, but it was far from smooth sailing. Finishing fifth in CONMEBOL qualifying and losing six matches, they struggled to find the right balance between defence and attack.
Those issues have been addressed to some extent by Ancelotti, who confidently predicted that “we’re going to have a great World Cup”. There is certainly plenty of talent, and the seasoned Italian coach will believe he can get the best out of the likes of Vinicius Jr, Lucas Paquetá and Raphinha.
There is also plenty of defensive strength, with PSG’s Marquinhos and Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhães forming a formidable partnership.
In contrast to Brazil, Morocco eased their way to the World Cup with eight wins from eight matches, scoring 22 goals and conceding just two. Despite this impressive record, the Atlas Lions parted company with manager Walid Regragui in March and appointed Mohamed Ouahbi.
The Belgian-born manager has been tasked with implementing a more free-flowing, attacking style of football and is looking to get the best from PSV attacking midfielder Ismael Saibari, Real Madrid forward Brahim Díaz and the exciting 18-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.
Despite this focus on attack, Morocco remain defensively robust and may well revert to a counter-attacking approach against Brazil, a style that helped them reach the semi-finals just four years ago in Qatar.
Brazil vs Morocco: Team news
Carlo Ancelotti has made a couple of surprise calls in defence with Roger Ibañez of Al Ahli at right back and Douglas Santos of Zenit St. Petersburg on the left. It's a much more recognisable attack with Vinicius Jr, Raphinha and Lucas Paqueta looking to provide for Brentford's in-form forward Igor Thigo.
Brazil XI: Alisson; Ibanez, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Guimaraes; Raphinha, Lucas Paqueta, Vinicius Junior; Thiago
Subs: Weverton, Ederson, Ederson Silva, Alex Sandro, Cunha, Danilo, Bremer, Leo Pereira, Fabinho, Danilo, Endrick, Luiz Henrique, Martinelli, Rayan
For Morocco, it's very much what was expected, with Real Madrid's Brahim Diaz starting on the right of a three behind PSV striker Ismael Saibari.
Morocco XI: Bounou; Hakimi, Diop, Riad, Mazraoui; Bouaddi, El Aynaoui; Diaz, Ounahi, El Khannous; Saibari
Subs: Mohamedi, Tagnaouti, Amrabat, Saadane, Talbi, Rahimi, El Ouahdi, El Mourabet, Yassine, Sbai, Belammari, El Kaabi, Amaimouni-Echghouyab, Halhal, Saleh-Eddine
