Lula Backing Brazil to Beat Morocco in 2026 World Cup Opener
After a meeting of the Council for Sustainable Economic and Social Development, President Lula told reporters he expects Brazil to win their opening match against Morocco. He admitted past mispredictions in 1982 and 1986 but insisted this time will be different. Even a narrow 1–0 victory would satisfy him. The Group C encounter kicks off on Saturday at 11 p.m. GMT+1. Scotland and Haiti also join Brazil and Morocco in the group. Brazil arrive with an attack-packed squad, while Morocco builds on its strong run from Qatar 2022. Lula’s confidence reflects the country’s deep passion for football and high hopes for this generation.
