Internationals Friendly England-Brazil at Wembley

The Football Association has announced that Brazil will be England’s first opponents at the new Wembley Stadium in a game on Friday 1 June. Its almost seven years since England played a game there when they lost to Germany 1-0 and the old Wembley wasn’t a great advantage for them when they played Brazil either, England only won 2 of 9 matches against them since Brazil first played in England in 1956.The game would have been a sellout who ever England played but tickets will now be even more valuable because of the large number of Brazilians living in London. Brazil have played twice at the Emirates Stadium in the last seven months and both games sold out quickly.Tickets for this game are £30-£60 and the FA are going to hold a ticket ballot for sales to the general public, members of the England supporters club will get a priority sale. It’ll be interesting to see how many tickets go to corporate hospitality now that the FA has to pay off the £757million that Wembley cost to build.
