Rayan starts as Group C powers final two

Group C closes on Wednesday night with Morocco vs Haiti and Scotland vs Brazil at 23:00 BST, and both games arrive with major lineup shuffles: Morocco promote four changes, Haiti make two, and Scotland rotate heavily—while Carlo Ancelotti keeps most of his XI,

The night Group C ends has a familiar feel—players being readied. roles reassigned. and pride left to do the work when points stop mattering. By 23:00 BST on Wednesday. Morocco take on Haiti and Scotland face Brazil. with two different sets of team selections showing how quickly plans can change when an injury or a tournament moment forces your hand.

Morocco arrive with four changes to the side that beat Scotland. Redouane Halhal. Anass Salah-Eddine. Sofyan Amrabat and Ayoub El Kaabi are promoted into the starting line-up. while Issa Diop. Noussair Mazraoui. Ayyoub Bouaddi and Azzedine Ounahi drop to the bench. Ismail Saibari looks set to play as a No 10 as Morocco reshape their midfield and attack around those adjustments.

Haiti’s response is smaller, but just as clear. With nothing but pride to play for, Frantzdy Pierrot and Carlens Arcus are replaced by Lenny Joseph and Wilson Isidor for the final stretch of Group C.

The second game. Scotland vs Brazil. turns on its own kind of pressure—timing. fatigue. and the need to protect a squad for what comes next. Carlo Ancelotti makes just one enforced change to his starting XI in Miami: Bournemouth winger Rayan starts. replacing the injured Raphinha. Neymar is named among the substitutes.

Scotland, meanwhile, make four changes under Steve Clarke. Grant Hanley, Ryan Christie, Kieran Tierney and Che Adams make way for Scott McKenna, Kenny McLean, Ben Gannon-Doak and Lawrence Shankland.

The line-ups spell out the choices. For Morocco, Bounou starts behind Hakimi, Halhal, Riad and Salah-Eddine, with Amrabat and El Aynaoui in midfield. Diaz. Saibari and El Khannouss sit around Rayan’s group—though in this match it’s Saibari and El Khannouss who carry the creativity—and El Kaabi is in the XI. Haiti go with Placide in goal. Duverne. Ade and Delcroix in defense. then “Experience” listed among the midfield/defensive roles alongside Casimir and Jacques. Bellegarde, Providence, Isidor and Joseph complete the XI.

Scotland’s XI has Gunn in goal, then Patterson, McKenna and Hendry at the back. Robertson sits alongside Gannon-Doak, with McLean, Ferguson, McGinn and McTominay in the center, and Shankland joining the front line.

Brazil name Alisson in goal with Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel and D Santos in defense. B Guimaraes and Casemiro anchor the midfield, Paqueta and Rayan are part of the attacking structure, and Vinicius Junior and Cunha round out the XI, with Neymar among the substitutes.

And even when the points are out of reach. the stakes don’t vanish entirely—because football still has its own deadlines. For Group C tonight. Achraf Hakimi leads the ownership stakes in the group as both fixtures kick off at 23:00 BST. and the final team news takes its place across two stadiums with one simple promise: this is how the tournament ends for them—one lineup at a time.
