Brazil fans pack Copacabana Beach for World Cup opener against Morocco

Thousands of fans gathered on Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Copacabana Beach on Saturday to watch Brazil’s World Cup opener against Morocco on giant public screens. Supporters filled the beachfront, wearing national team jerseys and waving Brazilian flags as they cheered on the Seleção. Facing pressure to win its first World Cup title since 2002, five-time champion Brazil was outplayed early and needed Vinícius Júnior's 32nd-minute goal to gain a 1-1 draw against Morocco on Saturday in a pulsating, high-profile group match. Brazil extended its unbeaten streak in World Cup openers to 21, including 17 wins, since a 1934 loss to Spain. No. 6 Brazil and seventh-ranked Morocco are the only top 10 teams to meet in the first round of the expanded 48-nation World Cup tournament. Brazil plays Haiti on Friday in Philadelphia, then closes Group C against Scotland in Miami Gardens, Florida. Morocco faces Scotland in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Friday, then meets Haiti in Atlanta. 📺 Please subscribe, like the video and share wherever you can! 👉    / @beanymansports2   ⚠️ DO NOT copy and re-upload any part of this video anywhere otherwise copyright strikes will be made!
