Brazil are to face Sweden in a friendly international in London on March 26, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on its Web site (cbfnews.uol.com.br).
The match will be played at Arsenal's Emirates stadium where Brazil have played twice in the last 18 months, beating Argentina 3-0 and losing 2-0 to Portugal.
Brazil and Sweden last met in 1995 during a tournament in England when the South Americans won 1-0.
Brazil's first match of the year is away to Ireland on Feb 6. Their next competitive games are the World Cup qualifiers away to Paraguay and at home to Argentina in June.
Ronaldinho will miss his fifth game in a row for Barcelona after failing to make the squad for Tuesday's King's Cup last-16 tie against Sevilla at the Nou Camp because of tendinitis in his left knee.
Fellow Brazilian Edmilson also misses out because of injury, but Portugal midfielder Deco returns after recovering from the muscle pain sustained in the league match against Real Mallorca on Jan. 5.
