Brazil faces Haiti in a critical FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C match, aiming to secure their first win of the tournament. The five-time champions are looking to improve their standing after an initial 1-1 draw against Morocco. However, their efforts will be hampered by the continued absence of star forward Neymar.
Neymar has been ruled out of the match against Haiti due to a calf injury, marking his second consecutive game on the sidelines. The Brazilian football confederation confirmed he will remain in New Jersey to focus on his recovery. The 34-year-old player sustained the injury while playing for Santos on May 17 and has not yet participated in full training sessions.
The match is set to take place on Friday, June 19, at the Lincoln Financial Field Stadium in Philadelphia.
