Football: Brazilian Olympic football team to play friendly against Singapore
SINGAPORE: Brazil's star-studded football team will be in Singapore for a friendly match against Singapore's national team.
The Lions will face some of the world's best players such as Ronaldinho and Robinho in the match on July 28.
Singapore is the first of two acclimatisation stops before the Brazil team heads to Beijing for the Olympics.
The match will take place at the National Stadium.
Tickets range from $60 to $120.
The team will fly to Vietnam for the second game on July 29.
Singapore's efficiency and safety plus the country being in the same time zone as Beijing helped woo one of the world's most popular teams to its shores.
Winston Lee, general secretary of Football Association of Singapore, said: "We started negotiations with the agent in May and we had to contend with a few big countries in Asia and Europe. We are happy, of course, today to announce we have secured Brazil to play in Singapore on July 28."

OMG! OMG! O EM EFF GEE!!! No you're not dreaming it's true the Brazilian Olympics team will be slated to play HERE IN SINGAPORE in a friendly on 28th July!!! I am going crazy! The excitement! Everything! Well, okay now that I mentioned it there's only one thing I'm not so crazy about - The ticket pricing. Tickets are going at $60 for gallery seating (adults), $120 for grandstand (adults and students). Student gallery tickets (under-16) are going for $15, but here's the catch: only 2000 tickets will be available.
Imagine seeing football superstars like RONALDINHO, ROBINHO, DIEGO, ANDERSON, ALEXANDRE PATO AND LIVERPOOL'S LUCAS LEIVA IN THE FLESH!!! 123 SCREAM!!! Ultimate madness right!!! Boy oh boy pardon the excessive '!' !!!
Here's some vital info, they'll be arriving on the sunny shores of Singapore on 23rd July and will be putting up at a hotel in the City Hall and Marina Bay area (wink wink* you know where eh? ;D). They are scheduled to having training sessions at least once a day at the National Stadium (yeah I know all of us kena cheated by the 'last' kallang roar u_u"), Bishan stadium is another alternative.
