Brazil to face France in Paris friendly

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazil will face France in a friendly in Paris on March 26, the Brazilian Football Confederation said on Tuesday.

The game will take place at Stade de France, the same ground where France beat Brazil 3-0 in 1998 to lift their first World Cup.

The match will provide a tough test for Dunga's new Brazil side. The coach took over in July after Brazil's humiliating World Cup semi-final defeat and his side have won all six matches since, scoring 14 goals and conceding just one.
