Brazil will wear blue shirts instead of their traditional yellow in a decisive 2026 FIFA World Cup group match against Haiti, following a draw that determined the change. The match, scheduled for June 20, 2026, is part of the group stage and could determine qualification for the knockout rounds.
The decision came after a draw held by FIFA to resolve a kit conflict, as both teams' primary colors (yellow for Brazil and red for Haiti) were deemed too similar. Brazil's blue kit, typically used as an away option, was selected.
This is not the first time Brazil has worn blue in a World Cup; they famously wore blue in the 1958 final against Sweden. The match against Haiti is critical for both teams, with Brazil seeking to advance and Haiti aiming for a historic result.
FIFA confirmed the draw on June 18, 2026, and the teams have since prepared for the fixture. Brazil is favored to win, but Haiti has shown resilience in the tournament.
