Brazil To Play Lebanon Friendly
Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2006 1:10 amBrazil are set to play an exhibition match in Lebanon in October in order to help the war-damaged nation get back on its feet.
The five-time World Champions have penciled in a date of October 10 for the Beirut clash after their date in Kuwait scheduled for October 7.
Earlier in the week, the President of the South American nation Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called upon the team to head to Lebanon.
"The national team goes to Kuwait, why can't we play a game in Lebanon for peace?" Silva said.
"Lebanon needs help from the Brazilian national team. Who says that the national team cannot play a game to symbolise peace?"
The Brazilian ambassador to the Middle-Eastern nation subsequently contacted the Lebanese FA to asked for a formal request.
Gr8 news even if i'm an azzurri fan.
