Kylian Mbappe vs Vinicius Jr: France to face Brazil in friendly ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup

The big tournament is now just a few months away.

Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, France and Brazil will clash in a friendly match at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in March, according to ESPN.

Brazil will face Croatia in an additional friendly on March 31 in Orlando, while the rematch of the 1998 World Cup final, which France won, will take place on March 28.

As a prelude to the 2026 World Cup, the two federations have decided to play the game in the United States. France might secure a spot with a victory over Ukraine this week, while the South American giants have already qualified for the tournament.

Following the encounter against the Selecao, the Les Bleus will play a second friendly against either Mexico or the United States, according to a source. Many club teammates from some of the best clubs in Europe may compete in the game.

Real Madrid stars set to face each other

Real Madrid teammates Éder Militão, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo may face Kylian Mbappé, Aurěen Tchouaméni, Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga. This will also be a reunion for many with former Los Blancos manager Ancelotti.

While Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembé, and Désiré Doué of PSG will line up against Marquinhos, Arsenal colleagues Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli, and William Saliba may be on opposing sides of the ball.

It will be a great game for both giants to test their mettle ahead of the competition, as Les Bleus will hope to bounce back after losing the 2022 World Cup against Argentina.

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti’s side will hope to win their first-ever World Cup since 2002 as their pursuit of football’s greatest trophy continues.
