African champions Cameroon will face five-time World Cup winners Brazil in a November 20 international friendly.
The game – sixth meeting between the two countries – has been confirmed for the Milton Keynes Stadium in England.
Brazil have won four of the previous encounters while Cameroon’s only victory came at the 2003 Fifa Confederations Cup in France.
The last time the teams met was during the group stage of the 2014 Fifa World Cup when Brazil won 4-1 in Brasilia with a Neymar double.
New coach Clarence Seedorf is rebuilding the Cameroon team ahead of their hosting of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and the Brazil game comes just four days after they play Morocco in a qualifier.
The game will also mark Brazil’s last game for the year 2018. Head coach Tite is also preparing the South Americans for the 2019 Copa America on home soil.
