Brazil and Egypt face off in the final match of their preparations for the 2026 World Cup. This prestigious clash is the perfect opportunity to build confidence before the tournament kicks off.

The Brazilians won the last encounter between the two sides—a friendly in 2011—thanks to a brace from Jonas. Fifteen years on, the two teams meet again in a very different context: their final tune-up ahead of football’s global showpiece.

The Seleção, the most decorated nation in World Cup history, will compete in Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland. The Pharaohs, meanwhile, share Group G with Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men are coming off back-to-back wins over Croatia (3-1) and Panama (6-2), following defeats to Japan (3-2) and France (2-1), and a draw against Tunisia (1-1).

Egypt, for its part, thrashed Saudi Arabia 4-0 and held Spain to a 0-0 draw. More recently, they edged Russia 1-0.

Here are the probable line-ups for both teams:

Brazil: Alisson, Wesley, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Sandro, Casemiro, Guimarães, Raphinha, Paquetá, Vinicius Jr, Thiago.

Egypt: El Shenawy, Hany, Fathy, Ibrahim, Fotouh, Lasheen, Ateya, Salah, Ashour, Trezeguet, Marmoush.
