The Coordinator of Brazil national team, Juninho Paulista also confirmed the friendly saying, “we chose two of the best African teams because they are high-level confrontations and against a school that the Brazilian National Team has had few encounters in recent years.
It was a wish of the Technical Commission, so we went after these opponents,” Both teams last met at the senior level in 2003 where Brazil ran away with a 3-0 victory.
The encounter is slated for the 55,000-capacity National Stadium of Singapore.
