Brazil's World Cup Journey Without Neymar
The record World Cup champions, Brazil, are set to kick off their journey in the 2026 FIFA World Cup without their star player, Neymar, who is sidelined due to injury. This highly anticipated match will take place against Morocco in the early hours of Sunday, at midnight Swiss time. The Moroccan team, featuring PSG's Achraf Hakimi and Real Madrid's playmaker Brahim Diaz, made headlines during the last World Cup as they surprised everyone by reaching the semifinals. Earlier this year, Morocco also celebrated a significant victory at the Africa Cup held in their home country, triumphing months after a thrilling final against Senegal.
The question on many fans' minds is whether the Moroccan side can cause an upset against the Brazilian squad. For those eager to follow the action live, updates and streaming options are available through SRF.
