(Reuters) - Defending champions Brazil will play Russia in March as part of their preparations for next year's World Cup in Germany.
"The match has been already confirmed, so has the date. It will take place in Moscow on March 1," Russian Football Union (RFU) spokesman Andrei Malosolov said on Tuesday.
Brazil hope to use the Moscow game to prepare for Croatia, their first opponents in World Cup Group F.
The five-time world champions face Croatia on June 13 before playing Australia and Japan.
Russia, who failed to qualify for the finals, plan to name their new coach before the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign starts in September. | Source: SBS | Dec.15.2005 |
