However, new betting figures released by Betano, the official sports betting brand of Kaizen Gaming, FIFA’s partner for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, show that Brazilians believe in the team’s ability to win the tournament. The statistics were compiled based on the number of bets placed between June 11 and June 24.
According to the data provided by Betano, Brazil occupies 60.4% of outright winner bets placed by Brazilian customers, which is lower than the number (75%) before the World Cup kicked off. The Seleção ended up drawing with Morocco and beat Haiti and Scotland in the group stage and topped Group C. Afterward, the team won 2-1 against Japan and qualified for the Round of 16.
Endrick – Favorite Player Among Brazilians

The second-placed Spanish player Lamine Yamal gets only 13.9% of the market. Despite the fact that the young striker makes only substitute appearances in the tournament, the fans of the country remain highly confident in his abilities and performance.
Many of them are sure that Endrick deserves to be in the team’s starting lineup.
