Brazil's mens national soccer team meets Canada at Qwest Field on May 31 at 7:30 p.m. in a friendly, it was announced today.

Brazil is expected to bring a good share of its top players. Forwards Ronaldinho, Robinho and Alexandre Pato and defender Kaka figure to be called up to the national team for its Seattle appearance, as the match will serve as a tuneup for Brazil's World Cup qualifying match against Paraguay on June 14 in South America.

Brazil has been to Seattle before. It faced the USA League XI in a 2-0 win in the USA Bicentenary Cup in May 1976.

Canada, led by midfielder Dwayne DeRosario of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo and midfielder Julian de Guzman of Spain's Deportivo de La Coruna, last appeared in Seattle at Qwest Field in July 2005. It fell to the U.S., 2-0, in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Canada is preparing for the start of 2010 World Cup qualifying as well, with a match against St. Vincent and The Grenadines on June 15 in Jamaica.

Tickets for Brazil-Canada go on sale Monday at 10 a.m. Ticket prices range from $35 to $125 and can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster at 206.628.0888, visiting www.soundersfc.com or www.ticketmaster.com, and in person at all Ticketmaster outlets or the Qwest Field box office.

Tickets will be for sale in advance of the general public for all Sounders FC season ticket holders. For information on Sounders FC season tickets, call 1-877-MLS-GOAL.
