Morocco kicks off their World Cup 2026 campaign with a high-stakes showdown against Brazil this Saturday at 22:00 GMT. In the pre-match press conference, Seleção coach Carlo Ancelotti sounded the alarm for his players ahead of the much-anticipated clash with the Atlas Lions.

The Italian manager stated: "Don't forget, tomorrow we are up against the African champions, Morocco. They are a great team."

Morocco is a top side with outstanding players competing in Europe. To beat them, we will need to defend and attack better, or else we'll be in for a real challenge.

The former Real Madrid boss continues to show utmost respect for Walid Regragui's men, who made it to the semi-finals of the last World Cup in 2022.
This highly anticipated Group C fixture is set for Saturday, June 13 at MetLife Stadium in New York.
