Brazil's travel will be greater than that of teams like France and Argentina, which will travel less than 800 kilometers in the first three games.
Still, Brazil will be far from the teams that will most cross the continent in the group stage. Bosnia and Herzegovina will be the team that will travel the most in the first phase, with more than 5,000 kilometers covered between the three games.
Egypt will have the shortest journey: around 380 kilometers during the entire group stage.

The 2026 World Cup will have the longest distance between host cities in the history of the tournament. The World Cup, which starts on June 11th, will be played for the first time in three different countries: Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The most distant venues for this year's World Cup are Vancouver, in Canada, and Miami, in the United States. The two cities are approximately 4,500 kilometers apart as the crow flies. Manaus, in fact, is closer to Miami than Vancouver.
This time, the World Cup will have games spread across 16 cities. The greatest distance between venues in the current edition surpasses the record recorded in the 1994 World Cup. At the time, the United States also hosted the tournament.
Brazil appears twice among the tournaments with the greatest distances between venues:
In 2014, Fortaleza and Porto Alegre were separated by around 3,200 thousand kilometers - a distance slightly greater than that between the capital of Rio Grande do Sul and Manaus.
In 1950, the distance between Recife and Porto Alegre was almost 3,000 kilometers.
The 2022 World Cup, in Qatar, was at the opposite extreme. The tournament's most distant venues were less than 70 kilometers apart.
