It will be the first time Team GB will play a game for 41 years, and their coach Stuart Pearce is excited about testing his side against the five-time FIFA World Champions.
”In world football they don’t come much bigger than Brazil and it should be a terrific occasion for us going into our first match,” Pearce told the FA’s official website.
”Middlesbrough recently hosted an Under-21 game and had a tremendous crowd, and I think particularly with the Brazilian connections on Teesside it will be a terrific turnout again come July.”
Brazil coach Mano Menezes will name his squad for the Olympics in the first week of July, but you can see who made it into his 52-man primary squad here.
