Houston Stadium is set to host a major clash between Brazil and Japan in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. The Selecao will wear their home kit, while the Samurai Blue will be in their away strip.
This intriguing match will be officiated by Italian referee Maurizio Mariani, and the winner will face the victor of the clash between Ivory Coast and Norway. Brazil’s future in the competition will depend on whether they win, draw, or lose against the Asian side.
Raphinha will be one of Brazil’s major absentees, while Neymar Jr. will start on the bench. Which of these two teams will continue advancing in the World Cup?
