Brazil to face Asian champions Japan in Singapore


SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Five-times world champions Brazil will play reigning Asian Cup winners Japan in a football friendly in Singapore's new $1 billion (593 million pounds) sports complex in October, organisers announced on Thursday.

The Oct. 14 fixture will be one of the first for the new head coaches of both teams who had disappointing showings at last month's World Cup, with hosts Brazil humbled 7-1 by eventual winners Germany in the semi-finals and Japan exiting at the group stage.
