Official: Brazil to meet USA in September

The Selecao will travel to Foxborough, Massachusetts on September 8 to take on Jurgen Klinsmann’s men at the Gillette Stadium







The Chevrolet Brasil Global Tour will resume on September 8 when Brazil will face USA at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

With 10 consecutive Chevrolet Brasil Global Tour victories since his July appointment, Selecao coach Dunga will be desperate to return to winning ways after a disappointing Copa America campaign that saw them exit at the quarter-finals in Chile last month.

The September Fifa dates will be Brazil’s last to experiment prior to the start of Conmebol World Cup qualifying campaign for Russia 2018.

USA will also be keen to get back on track after a shock semi-final defeat to Jamaica in this month's Concacaf Cold Cup.

Brazil have prevailed in 16 of their 17 clashes with USA, with the most recent matchup between the two ending in a 4-1 victory for the Selecao at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on May 30, 2012.

The Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, 20 miles south of Boston and home to the New England Patriots and MLS team New England Revolutions, previously hosted the Brasil Global Tour in 2013 in a match which saw Brazil beat Portugal 3-1.

Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. ET through ussoccer.com, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and at all Ticketmaster ticket centres throughout the region. Starting Monday, August 3, tickets also become available at the Gillette Stadium ticket office (open Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm.
