Brazilian media is anticipating the match against Morocco.

Brazilian media confirmed that the upcoming match between the Brazilian and Moroccan national teams in the 2026 World Cup will not be decided on paper, despite the significant advantage of the "Seleção" in terms of player market value.

Brazilian reports indicated that the Brazilian national team has a squad valued at nearly double that of the Moroccan team, according to a study by the "Transfermarkt" platform, with the value of Brazilian players estimated at around 928.7 million euros, compared to 498.3 million euros for Moroccan players.

The same sources added that the financial gap between the two teams is about 430 million euros, but this figure does not necessarily reflect the real difference on the pitch, especially since the Moroccan team has proven in recent years its ability to compete with top national teams worldwide.

Brazilian media highlighted that the "Atlas Lions" have become one of the strongest African teams, following their historic achievement in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where they reached the semifinals and eliminated strong teams like Belgium, Spain, and Portugal, which has made their match against Brazil garner significant attention.

The same reports emphasized that the Moroccan national team includes players with high market value, led by Achraf Hakimi, whose estimated value is around 71.4 million euros, in addition to rising talents like Ismail Sabiri and Brahim Diaz.

Brazilian press added that the Brazilian team, led by global stars like Vinícius Júnior, enters the match with strong predictions, but it recognizes that Morocco is no longer an easy opponent, and the recent experience in the World Cup has earned the "Atlas Lions" great respect.

The reports concluded by affirming that market value remains just an economic indicator, while the outcome of World Cup matches is linked to other factors, including tactical organization, focus, and the character displayed by players in major events.
