Brazil start their World Cup preparations in earnest this weekend when they host Panama in a friendly match at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.
Carlo Ancelotti's roster announcement caused plenty of headlines this month, particularly around the inclusion of Neymar, who was selected despite battling an injury.
They face Panama before taking on Egypt next Saturday in their final game prior to their Group C opener against Morocco on June 13, so Ancelotti does not have long to get his squad up to speed and looking like possible trophy challengers.
Panama will play three warm-up friendlies before they start their World Cup campaign against Ghana in Toronto on June 17. With England and Croatia also in Group L, Thomas Christiansen and his players know that beginning the competition strongly could be their only hope of progressing to the next round.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
