Brazil will finalise their World Cup preparations with international friendlies against Croatia and Austria, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has said.
The Selecao will meet Croatia in England on June 3 followed by a clash against Austria at Vienna's Ernst Happel stadium seven days later, the CBF said on Monday, reports Xinhua news agency.
In addition to the friendlies, the CBF struck a deal with Tottenham Hotspur to use the club's new north London facilities for their pre-World Cup training base. The Selecao will also stay in a hotel within the sports complex.
Brazil's squad will remain in London from May 28 to June 8 before departing for Vienna and then Russia, where the World Cup will be held from June 14 to July 15.
The five-time world champions will begin their World Cup campaign against Switzerland in Rostov-On-Don on June 17.
