THE Brazil-England friendly match tomorrow is set to be played after a judge overruled a previous court order that had suspended the match on safety issues.
The Rio de Janeiro state government issued a statement confirming the new ruling just hours after judge Adriana Costa dos Santos issued an order on Thursday saying the match at Rio de Janeiro's renovated Maracana stadium could not proceed. The statement said "the match between Brazil and England is confirmed on June 2 with all the safety conditions assured". The chaos of the on-again, off-again match raises more red flags about Brazil's readiness to hold the Confederation Cup, which opens in two weeks, and next year's World Cup and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
