Brazil to host England in June friendly EPL Headlines
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Brazil will host England in a friendly at the renovated Maracana in June on the eve of the Confederations Cup. Rio de Janeiro governor Sergio Cabral announced the June 2 game on Friday. The Confederations Cup, involving Brazil as host but not England, starts 13 days later. England will welcome Brazil in a friendly in February at Wembley. Maracana, built for the 1950 World Cup, has been undergoing a massive renovation to host the Confederations Cup, 2014 World Cup and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Olympics. Cabral says a game between Brazil and a squad composed of Israeli and Palestinian players will mark the stadium's official reopening. A date has yet to be set. Updated November 23, 2012
