Brazil and Chile to meet in friendly at Emirates Stadium

Brazil and Chile will meet in a friendly at Emirates Stadium on March 29, Arsenal have announced.

Chile and Brazil met in the knockout stages of the 2014 World Cup, where the hosts went through after a dramatic penalty shootout in Belo Horizonte.

The match, which will act as a warm-up for the Copa America, could see Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez come up against Barcelona's Neymar.

Brazil have played at the Emirates Stadium six times previously, including recent matches against Scotland and Republic of Ireland.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said: "Everyone at Arsenal is proud to once again be hosting a high profile international match at Emirates Stadium.

"The national teams of Brazil and Chile have many fantastic players and the match will give football fans the opportunity to watch an international friendly of the highest calibre.

"It's a compliment to both Arsenal and Emirates Stadium that we will once again be hosting a fixture of this magnitude."
