Looking for stronger opponents for the current cycle, the CBF announced this Monday, 6th, the friendly between Brazil It is England for 2024. The confrontation will take place at Wembley Stadium, in March, and was greatly celebrated by the entity’s top management, including by President Ednaldo Rodrigues, who commented on the topic.
“The objective is always to close the Seleção’s games against great teams, especially world champion teams, so that we can have clashes of a high technical level, which also allow an evaluation of performance in tests like these. In the games against England and Spain, next year, we will have two great classics of world football and, certainly, two great spectacles”, stated the agent.

It is worth remembering that for some years the Brazilian team has had difficulty scheduling matches against European teams, especially since the creation of the League of Nations on the continent. On the other hand, England will also meet a South American team again after six years, as the last time was in 2017, against the same Brazil.
The importance of the match is due to the bad phase that Brazil is going through against teams from Europe. The last time the Canarian team beat an opponent from the Old Continent in a World Cup knockout stage was in 2002, in the final against Germany. It has since been eliminated for the France, Netherlands, Belgium It is Croatia in subsequent competitions.
On the same FIFA Date, Brazil will also meet Spain, in a friendly announced a few months ago by national entities. The initiative was largely due to the cases of racism suffered by Vinícius Junior in the Spanish Championship in recent seasons, where he plays for Real Madrid.
