England to host Brazil for international friendly in March 2024 at Wembley

The match will be played at the Wembley Stadium

England and Brazil will play an international friendly football match in March 2024 at the iconic Wembley Stadium. The Three Lions will also face Belgium in the same international break.

The Brazil match will be played on March 23 at Wembley Stadium, the first game between the sides since a 0-0 draw in 2017. England last faced Brazil in the build-up to the 2018 World Cup, with that match serving as one of the first outings of the 3-5-2 formation which would see them to their best finish at the tournament in 28 years.

The Three Lions have faced the five-time World Cup champions 26 times in all, with the last of just four wins against the South Americans coming in a 2-1 friendly win under Roy Hodgson in 2013.

Brazil previously confirmed a game against Spain at the Bernabeu, also for March of next year.

England’s FA have also confirmed the Brazil game and announced another friendly international with Belgium at Wembley on March 26.
