Newly-crowned Asian Cup winners Qatar could play friendlies against Brazil or Uruguay in June ahead of playing in the Copa America, the team's coach and officials said on Wednesday.

The South American giants are among a list of teams Qatar are trying to secure matches against -- others include Colombia, Panama and the USA -- ahead of their first Copa America appearance.

"We need to finalise the preparations but sure we need to play a couple of games," said coach Felix Sanchez on the sidelines of an award ceremony for the winning squad in Doha.

"We prepare a list of potential teams that we would like to play against but also we need to see their availability."
