Chelsea to host Brazil vs. Russia

Brazil and Russia will face each other in March of this year at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea's Stamford Bridge will play host to an international friendly between Brazil and Russia on Monday, March 25.

The match will mark a return to the Blues for Luiz Felipe Scolari, who had a brief spell in charge of the club back in 2008.

"The game against Russia will be very important in order to prepare Brazil's national team for the Confederations Cup in 2013 and the World Cup in 2014. Russia is a strong opponent and it is traditionally hard to play against them," said Scolari.

"Going to London is a great joy. It will be an opportunity to thank the Chelsea's fans for the affection and the great interaction I had with them."

The Russian national team are currently managed by former England head coach Fabio Capello.
