The clash between Brazil and Morocco (1-1) did not only attract the attention of football fans. A very special guest was also spotted in the stands of MetLife Stadium: Zinedine Zidane.
Seen during the Brazil–Morocco match, the former France legend immediately sparked speculation. A World Cup winner in 1998 and runner-up in 2006 with France, Zidane attended the Group C fixture of the 2026 World Cup, generating plenty of reactions on social media.
Zidane Fuels France Rumors
Since leaving Real Madrid, Zidane has remained away from the sidelines, but his name continues to be linked with the future of the French national team. With Didier Deschamps gradually approaching the end of his tenure, many still view “Zizou” as the natural successor to the current France manager.
It is difficult to know what motivated his trip to New Jersey. As a passionate football fan, Zidane may simply have wanted to watch one of the most anticipated matches of the group stage. However, some observers were quick to interpret his presence as a hint about a possible future role with Les Bleus.

Achraf Hakimi’s Morocco and Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil are among the teams that could potentially face France in the knockout rounds of the tournament. Whether he was there as a spectator or as a future observer for the French national team, Zidane’s presence is never insignificant, and every public appearance by the former number 10 only reignites speculation about his eventual return to coaching.
