The Socceroos will take on World Cup hosts Brazil in a friendly match in September Holger Osieck watches his Socceroos during a training session in Sydney on June 17, Source: AFP FIFA'S website has confirmed that Australia will meet 2014 World Cup hosts Brazil in a friendly international on September 7 on Brazil's Independence Day. The clash is expected to be played in the capital Brasilia with the Socceroos expected to be the perfect guests as the Selecao prepare to host the World Cup for the first time since 1950. It will be the seventh showdown between the two teams. Brazil has claimed four wins, with a draw and one loss while Australia has one victory - a 1-0 2001 Confederations Cup upset. The Socceroos last met Brazil in 2006 at the FIFA World Cup in Germany under former boss Guus Hiddink. Brazil claimed a 2-0 win at the Allianz Arena in Munich with goals from Adriano and Fred and is currently in hot form after winning the recent Confederations Cup in Brazil. And while it will be the first meeting in seven years for the two nations, Socceroos coach Holger Osieck will not have the headache of a club-versus-country battle for the clash when he names his squad for the friendly. The clash is protected by FIFA's international match calendar where players must be released by clubs. Osieck has been rocked this week by J-League club Nagoya Grampus' refusal to release striker Josh Kennedy for the East Asian Cup tournament which kicks off this Saturday. The East Asian Cup sits outside the international match calendar.
