Brazil to play friendly against Tanzania on June 7

The Brazilian Confederation of Soccer (CBF) announced on Tuesday that the country's national team will face Tanzania on June 7 in a friendly.

It will be the team's last warmup before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The friendly will be held in Tanzania's capital city Dar Es Sallam.

With the friendly confirmed, the CBF is attempting to finalize one more friendly to take place on June 2 or June 3, possibly against Zimbabwe.

However, timing and negotiations have dragged, preventing an agreement to be finalized.

The CBF has avoided the possibility of facing any of the other 31 national soccer teams that will play in the 2010 World Cup. The entity denied an invitation from the host nation, South Africa for this reason.

Brazil will debut in the 2010 World Cup against DPR Korea on June 15 at the Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg.
