Brazil, Columbia and Croatia to compete in "Road To 26" Friendlies at Orlando's Camping World Stadium this March

Three of the world’s top men’s national teams are coming to Orlando in March as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup.

Three of international soccer’s top men’s national teams will visit Orlando for a pair of matches this March on the Road to 26. Camping World Stadium will host Colombia vs. Croatia on March 26, and Croatia vs. Brazil on March 31.

Colombia and Croatia is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 26. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two national teams.

Five days later, on Tuesday, March 31, Brazil will face Croatia at the same venue, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. It will be a highly anticipated rematch of the teams’ dramatic quarterfinal 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), including Group Play wins in both the 2006 and 2014 World Cup.

The two Orlando matches are part of Road to 26 slate that also includes exhibitions near Boston and Washington, D.C., in early spring.

Camping World Stadium has a long history of hosting international soccer, dating back to matches in the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 1996 Olympic Games. In recent years, the venue has also welcomed clubs from around the globe for friendlies as part of Florida Citrus Sports’ FC Series, and has hosted other marquee national team matchups, including a Brazil–USA friendly in 2024 and a Mexico-Guatemala match in 2022.

Tickets for all four Road to 26 matches will go on sale on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET. Fans may register for exclusive presale access at RoadTo26.com.
