Brazil arrived at the Qatar World Cup hoping to claim a record sixth world title, but their ambitions were shattered by a resilient European side renowned for punching above their weight.
On Tuesday night in Orlando, the Seleção will face their most recent World Cup conquerors for the first time since their heartbreaking penalty shootout elimination in Al Rayyan.
While Brazil has turned to Carlo Ancelotti in hopes of ending a 24-year drought for a sixth world title, Croatia remain shrewdly guided by Zlatko Dalić. Following a lackluster Euro 2024 campaign, the Vatreni secured their spot in this summer's tournament comfortably and put in an impressive performance against Colombia in their opening match of 2026.
The South American giants aren't exactly brimming with confidence heading into Tuesday's friendly, with Ancelotti's tenure yielding modest results so far. His side were outplayed in a 2–1 loss to an exhilarating France team in their last outing, and they have since been deprived of their leading scorer in qualifying due to a hamstring injury.
Results may carry little weight at this stage, but Ancelotti will be eager to avoid consecutive defeats against quality opposition as the World Cup draws ever nearer.
