Brazil to face Japan in Poland friendly

Wroclaw is one of the four cities in Poland that will stage matches during Euro 2012, which the country is co-hosting with Ukraine from June 8 to July 1.

"Japan and Brazil want to play in Europe and we are lucky enough to be [located] right in between," Wroclaw mayor Rafal Dutkiewicz was quoted as saying on the south-western city stadium's official website.

"We bet that after the Euro emotions in June there will still be hunger for more spectacular matches."

At this year's European Championships, Wroclaw will host three Group A matches, featuring Poland, Greece, Russia and Czech Republic.
