Former World Cup champions Brazil and Argentina are said to be getting ready
to play an international friendly in Doha later this year.
A tentative date of November 17 is said to have been finalised by organisers in
Doha, according to a report published in a local sports weekly.
If the match goes ahead, it will be the second time Brazil — who have won the
World Cup a record five times — will be playing in Doha.
Last November, Brazil beat Fabio Capello’s England 1-0 at Khalifa International
Stadium.
Argentina are two-time World Cup champions, having won the game’s biggest event
in 1978 and 1986.
The match is likely to take place on the third day of the four-day Aspire4Sport
Conference and Expo, being organised by the Aspire Academy, Doha Stadium Plus
reported yesterday.
According to the report, Argentina have already signed the agreement whereas
Brazil are expected to follow suit.
