Brazil face their second friendly clash of the June international window as they take on defending Africa Cup of Nations champions Senegal on June 20.
The Samba Boys secured their first win of 2023 with a dominant 4-1 victory over Guinea in Barcelona, including a debut goal for Newcastle star Joelinton.
However, they are likely to face a tougher test against Senegal in Lisbon, with Aliou Cisse’s team securing a 1-1 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying draw against Benin last week.
Ramon Menezes will once again lead Brazil as he remains in interim charge while the Brazilian FA continue their search for Tite’s long-term replacement.
The international friendly will be held on Tuesday, June 20 at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon, Portugal.
The time of the match will be at 8:00 p.m. local time. Here is how that translates to time zones in different regions around the world.
