Brazil and the United States will play a friendly on June 12 at Camping World Stadium, the stadium with capacity for 60,219 fans located in Orlando, in the state of Florida. It will be the last preparation for both teams before the Copa América, which will be played on American soil between June 20 and July 14.

“Having the opportunity to play against Brazil is special. When it comes to challenging ourselves against the best teams in the world, you can’t ask for anything better than Brazil. With its group of highly talented players and its rich history of success on the world stage, it will undoubtedly be a great preparation match for the Copa América,” said American coach Gregg Berhalter in the official statement announcing the matchup.

Four days before this match, Brazil is scheduled to face Mexico. Official confirmation is missing, but the game would be at Kyle Field in the state of Texas, with a capacity for more than 102,000 spectators, although it hosted more than 110,000 in a match for the local American football team.

In the Copa América, the Seleção heads Group D, where Colombia, Paraguay are and the remaining place that will come from the winner of the playoff between Costa Rica and Honduras remains to be defined. For its part, the United States leads Group C, in which Uruguay, Panama and Bolivia also participate.

The last match between the United States and Brazil dates back to September 2018 and was a 2-0 victory for the five-time champion with goals from Roberto Firmino and Neymar. In total, they have faced each other 19 times with a single victory for the Americans, which occurred in the 1998 Gold Cup in which the Canarinha played as a guest.
