Brazilian Confederation of Soccer (CBF) president Ricardo Teixeira put to rest the rumors of a possible friendly against reigning World Cup champions Spain on Thursday. Speculation spreads that Brazil would invite Spain to play in the inauguration of the Maracana stadium in 2014. The stadium was recently closed in order to receive necessary reforms to hold games in the 2014 World Cup, expected to be ready just months before the World Cup kicks off in Brazil in 2014. Rumors circulated that Brazil would invite Spain to play a friendly inside of the new Maracana. Teixeira said that no such negotiation exists. However, he did not discard an eventual friendly against Spain before the World Cup on Brazilian soil begins.
