Brazil and France, two of the top five teams in the latest FIFA World Rankings, share one of international football’s most compelling cross-continental rivalries, with more than a dozen previous meetings across all competitions.
The sides previously faced off in the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup (a 1-0 France victory) and the 1998 World Cup Final, which France won 3-0. The most recent meeting between the sides took place in March 2015, with Brazil winning 3-1 in a friendly in Paris.
The March 26 matchup in Orlando will mark the first-ever meeting between Colombia and Croatia.
When Colombia and France meet on March 29, it will mark just the fourth all-time contest between the teams, with France holding a 2–1 edge in the series. Colombia’s lone victory came in their most recent meeting, a March 2018 friendly at the Stade de France, where Colombia rallied from a two-goal deficit to earn a 3-2 win.
The March 31 match featuring Brazil and Croatia will serve as a highly anticipated rematch of the teams’ dramatic quarterfinal game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where Croatia advanced on penalties. Brazil holds the all-time edge across five previous matches (3-1-1).
