International friendly: Brazil to play Nigeria, Senegal.
There will be international friendly matches between Brazil and Senegal on one hand, and again, Brazil and Nigeria on the other hand, as five-time world champions makes preparations for participation in the South America Zone's 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
In the current FIFA ranking, Senegal is currently ranked 20th while Nigeria 33rd. Following their home Copa Merica triumph, Brazil jumped one spot to second position.
"We chose the two best African countries because of their high level and also because we haven't played many matches against [African teams] in recent years," national team coordinator Juninho Paulista said in comments published on the Brazilian Football Confederation website.
Brazil will meet Senegal at Singapore's National Stadium on October 13 and Nigeria at the same venue three days later.
