Group C matchday 3 fixtures
| Kickoff (ET) | Match | Stage | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 24 · 6pm | Scotland vs Brazil | Group C, final round | US host venue |
| Jun 24 · 6pm | Morocco vs Haiti | Group C, final round | US host venue |
Scotland vs Brazil
Brazil— the tournament's most-decorated nation with five World Cup titles — meet a Scotland side back at the finals for the first time since 1998. A win or draw should hand Brazil top spot, while Scotland likely need a result to keep their qualification hopes alive. See the Scotland vs Brazil match-day guide and the wider Group C preview.
Morocco vs Haiti
The simultaneous decider sends Morocco— the first African and Arab nation to reach a World Cup semifinal, at Qatar 2022 — against Haiti, at their first finals since 1974. Because both games run at the same kickoff, this result decides whether Morocco grab the second spot or whether the chasing pack reshuffles via the best-third-placed standings.
