The Brazil national football team is set to play two friendly matches in Europe this November. Through these matches, the five-time world champions will conclude their 2025 calendar year. Brazil’s opponents will be two strong African teams – Senegal and Tunisia. This was confirmed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) on their official website.
After the South American World Cup qualifiers, Brazil has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup. These friendly matches will serve as part of World Cup preparations for coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
Brazil will play their first match on November 15 at the Emirates Stadium in London at 10:00 PM Bangladesh time against Senegal. The second match will be on November 18 at 1:30 AM Bangladesh time at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium in France against Tunisia.
Earlier this year, on October 10 in Seoul, Brazil defeated South Korea 5-0, but they lost their second friendly match to Japan 3-2 in Tokyo on October 14.
These two matches are important for Brazil as they offer a chance to review team strategy and performance ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
