London 2012: GB football team set to face Brazil in Olympic warm-up

The Great Britain men's football team are expected to play Brazil in an attractive warm-up fixture for the London Olympics this summer.

Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium will host the match in the week before the tournament, which starts on 25 July.

The draw for the men's and women's Olympic competition will take place at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.

Stuart Pearce will coach the GB men's team while Hope Powell will lead the women's side.

The Football Association has not finalised the opposition for all of the warm-up games but the Brazil match could form part of a double-header.

It could take place on 20 July and may also feature the women's team facing Sweden.
