Brazil to take on Japan in Singapore friendly
Print Edition
FIVE-TIME world champion Brazil will play reigning Asian Cup winner Japan in a friendly at Singapore’s new US$1 billion sports complex in October, organizers announced yesterday.
The October 14 fixture will be one of the first for the new head coaches of both teams who had disappointing showings at last month’s World Cup, with host Brazil humbled 1-7 by eventual winner Germany in the semifinals and Japan exiting at the group stage.
Brazil fired Luiz Felipe Scolari and replaced him with former coach Dunga, while Italian Alberto Zaccheroni stepped down from his role with the Blue Samurai to be succeeded by Mexican Javier Aguirre.
Singapore’s new sports hub, which opened in June, features a 55,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof and moveable seating making it flexible enough to host football, cricket, rugby and athletic events.
