One Dish for Every Nation at the 2026 World Cup: Group C

Group C is a fascinating mix of powerhouses and dark horses. Brazil, five-time champions and eternal favourites are joined by Morocco (semi-finalists in 2022), Scotland (back on the biggest stage), and Haiti (making waves as one of the tournament's most exciting stories). On the grill, every one of these nations delivers something remarkable.

Four nations. Four grilling traditions. Here's what to cook for every match day.

Brazil — Picanha

Brazil's signature cut is the top sirloin cap, kept fat-cap-on, skewered in a C-shape, and grilled over high heat while the fat renders down through the meat, basting it from within. It's outrageously juicy, deeply beefy, and has converted more people to Brazilian BBQ than any other single dish. Five-time world champions. Five-star cut.

Morocco — Kofta Merguez

Morocco brings two of the world's great grilled meats to the table. Go with merguez. Slim, intensely spiced lamb sausages loaded with harissa, fennel, and paprika. Throw them on a screaming hot grill. Split them open and roll them into fresh bread with chermoula sauce. Perfect match-day food.

Scotland — Grilled Scotch Beef Burger

Scotland's contribution to the grill scene is the Scotch beef burger made from world-class Scottish beef, seasoned simply, and cooked over high heat. The key is quality over everything else. Scottish beef has Protected Geographical Indication status for a reason: the grass-fed cattle produce rich, flavourful meat that doesn't need much help. Top it with mature cheddar and a smear of brown sauce. It's brave. Just like qualifying.

Haiti — Grilled Griot-Style Pork

Haiti's beloved griot is traditionally fried after being braised in citrus and spices but take those same flavours to the grill and you have something special. Pork shoulder, marinated overnight in Haitian epis (a base of scotch bonnet, scallion, thyme, and garlic), slow-grilled until the edges char and the inside stays juicy. Serve with pikliz (the Haitian pickled slaw) for the full experience.
