Brazil use the Emirates as their "home ground" on occasions due to the majority of their players that play in Europe. Its a compromise situation.

Money. Kentaro seem to own Brazil & are one of the companies we've lined up deals with for our assault on the world/Platini etc in the future. That ridiculous Brazil v England reserves in the middle east fixture was our FA repaying a debt to them.

Brazil are the home team. Most teams reach friendly 'agreements' to play home and away once each over a 2-5 year period. As it's a friendly match, a lot of managers wouldn't be happy for their players to go to South America for this. There's also a massive Brazillian community in London (180-200k, I seem to recall from a stat thrown up during the Menezes case).

What are Brazil's attendances for friendlies played in Brazil?
