Brazil will face Croatia and Austria in June with the Brasil Global Tour set to return to Europe for what will be the Selecao’s final two warm-up matches before World Cup 2018.

The five-time world champions will face Croatia on June 3 in England, with the venue set to be confirmed in the near future.

They will then meet Austria in Vienna at the Ernst Happel Stadium on June 10, seven days prior to kicking off their World Cup campaign against Switzerland in Rostov.

Technical Coordinator of the national team, Edu Gaspar, confirmed the fixtures in a press conference on Monday shortly after Brazil’s first training session this week, in Moscow.

Coach Tite and his charges are in Russia this week meeting the World Cup hosts before heading to Berlin to face Germany in a Brasil Global Tour double-header.

Brazil’s training base prior to World Cup 2018 was also confirmed on Monday, with English club Tottenham Hotspur announcing that the Selecao would be the first visitors to their newly built ‘Lodge’ at Hotspur Way.

The squad will base themselves at the London venue from May 28 until June 8, when they will depart for Vienna before arriving in Russia.
