World Cup Day 3 Features Four Matches From Qatar to Turkey
The 2026 World Cup enters its third day with four matches scheduled in a late-night to early-morning block in Israel, running from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. The slate opens with Qatar against Switzerland in Group B, the second match in the group after Canada and Bosnia drew, and both teams still chasing qualification hopes.
The headline fixture is Brazil against Morocco, described as the most promising match so far. Brazil begins its tournament against a Moroccan side that reached the semifinals at the previous World Cup.
Later, Haiti, led by Frantzdy Pierrot, faces Scotland, captained by Andrew Robertson. The day closes with another notable Group D match between Australia and Turkey, with Arda Guler aiming to lead Turkey past an Oceania side that competes in Asia.
Group D already saw the United States beat Paraguay 3-1. The full schedule for the day is Qatar-Switzerland at 22:00, Brazil-Morocco at 01:00, Haiti-Scotland at 04:00, and Australia-Turkey at 07:00.
