“With its group of highly talented players and its rich history of success on the world stage, this will undoubtedly be a great preparation match for the Copa América,” added the helmsman, who with his squad reached the round of 16 at the World Cup. of Qatar 2022.
The match will take place at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, which has a capacity for 65,000 spectators and where, curiously, the American team has not played for 26 years.
The statistics favor the Brazilians, since in the 19 occasions in which these teams have clashed, only once has the United States taken victory from them, something that happened in the 1998 Gold Cup, a tournament in which the South Americans played as guests.
As previously announced, Brazil will also face Mexico on June 8 in another preparation game for the Copa América, which will be held in the United States from June 20 to July 14.
Although the Brazilian team is not going through its best moment, it will always be a great rival to measure forces in friendly games.
