History will be made on Saturday when India faces Brazil in a first-ever meeting between the nations.
The Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata will host the friendly between FIFA’s 138th best team and the five-time world champion, with 68,000 supporters descending upon the venue to witness a momentous occasion.
Brazil has already played twice during its tour of the Western Hemisphere, facing Australia in successive fixtures. The Seleção opened with a 1–1 draw which required a 95th-minute equalizer from Rayan, but proceeded to win 4–2 in the second clash.
India, meanwhile, has played just once this break thus far. The Blue Tigers secured an impressive 1–1 draw with Panama to warm up for the mightiest of tests.
Here’s how audiences can watch the weekend’s friendly.
