HARRISON, N.J. -- Brazil will play Costa Rica in a friendly at Red Bull Arena on Sept. 5, three days before the Selecao meet the United States at Foxborough, Massachusetts.
The game, announced Tuesday, is on a FIFA international date, which means clubs must release players to national teams.
Both teams are preparing for their first games this fall in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.
The game replaces Brazil's planned friendly against Argentina in San Francisco that was cancelled as part of the fallout from the investigation into alleged corruption involving FIFA.
That match was called off as the two Argentine businessmen who own Full Play, a sports marketing company which had rights for the friendly, remain under house arrest in Argentina after being indicted in May by the U.S. Justice Department.
