Brazil take on France in a high-profile friendly in Boston on Thursday - three months out from the 2026 World Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil only finished fifth in their World Cup qualifying group, with Ancelotti joining last summer and replacing Dorival Junior. They will face Scotland, Morocco and Haiti in their group this summer.
2018 World Cup winners France, and 2022 finalists, breezed to top spot in their qualifying group with Ukraine, Iceland and Azerbaijan. Didier Deschamps’ side will face Norway, Senegal and a play-off side this summer.
The last time these two met was 2015 in a friendly, with Brazil winning 3-1. The 1998 final is, of course, their most memorable meeting, with France winning 3-0.
Brazil vs France is due to kick off at 8pm GMT (4pm local) on Thursday 26 March at Gillette Stadium in Boston.
In the United Kingdom, the match will be broadcast on ITV4 and streamed on ITVX.
Coverage starts at 7:50pm.
Arsenal centre back Gabriel Magalhaes withdrew from the squad in a blow for Carlo Ancelotti, while Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is also unavailable. Neymar was not called-up while Igor Thiago will be hoping to obtain his first cap after impressing at Brentford.
Similarly, France have lost their key Arsenal defender in William Saliba due to injury, with Jules Kounde also out with a hamstring strain. Captain Kylian Mbappe looks set to be involved.
