Why are Brazil playing at Milton Keynes?

THIS fixture is part of the Chevrolet Brasil Global Tour, which has run since 2012 and will continue until 2022.

The Brazilian football federation recognised the global draw of their side and teamed up with Pitch International, taking the team on the road and playing in sold out stadiums around the globe.

Since it began six years ago, there have been 45 games against various opponents in some of the world's best football arenas.

These include games held at Stamford Bridge, the Olympiastadion in Berlin and the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

The 30,000-seater Stadium MK may only host League Two football usually, but in the past has been used for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and was Spurs' temporary home earlier this season in the Carabao Cup.

Cameroon are currently in the middle of qualfication for the African Cup of Nations, but are struggling for form and have just one win in their last five games.
