Rio Olympics hosts Brazil will take on their Nigerian counterparts in a warm-up match on March 24.
Brazil’s Olympic side will meet fellow gold medal hopefuls Nigeria and South Africa in March friendlies, the Brazilian football confederation (CBF) has announced.

The Selecao will face Nigeria on March 24 at the Estadio Kleber Andrade in Cariacica, Espirito Santo, before meeting South Africa on March 27 at the Estadio Rei Pele in Maceio, Alagoas.

The two warm-up matches have been arranged not only to provide the team a taste of their opponents at the tournament, but to test them against demanding home crowds.

Brazil are hoping to end their long wait for their Olympic glory in Rio in August, with the gold medal the one remaining major title for which the five-time world champions are eligible that they are yet to claim.

Rogerio Micale is coaching the side ahead of the Rio games but senior team coach Dunga will take over for the tournament itself.

The squad will be made up of under-23 players, though each country is permitted three overage players.
