A blockbuster heavyweight clash awaits in the World Cup 2026 Round of 32 as five-time champions Brazil go head-to-head with a formidable Japan side.
The Seleção marched confidently out of Group C, spearheaded by a scintillating Vinícius Júnior and firing on all cylinders as genuine tournament favorites.
However, they face a strict examination against Hajime Moriyasu’s disciplined Samurai Blue, who earned their knockout spot after navigating a highly competitive Group F.

How to buy Brazil vs Japan World Cup tickets?
As of today, the major official World Cup ticket lotteries (including the Visa Presale, Early Ticket Draw, and the post-draw Random Selection Draw) have officially concluded.
With over 500 million requests processed during those phases, primary availability is now at an all-time low.
Here's what you need to know at a glance:
- The Last-Minute Sales Phase launched on April 1. This is not a lottery, tickets are being sold on a strictly first-come, first-served basis with immediate confirmation. This represents the final opportunity to purchase official tickets directly from FIFA.
- The Official FIFA Resale Marketplace is open. This platform is now the primary authorized destination for fans to buy and sell verified tickets at regulated prices as the tournament approaches.
- Alternatively, fans may look to secondary marketplaces like StubHub for last-minute tickets. Remember to check the T&Cs of any secondary sites for tickets you're buying.
