Brazil will play an international friendly against Ukraine in England next month.

The Brazilian football federation said the match will take place on Oct. 11 in Derby.

The match at the 33,700-capacity Pride Park Stadium will happen four days after the five-time world champions face Iran in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Brazil has never played against the 26th-ranked Ukraine or Iran, ranked 57th.

Brazil fell to fourth in the FIFA rankings after being eliminated by the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in South Africa earlier this year.

The Brazilians have played once since the World Cup, beating the United States 2-0 in New Jersey in August.
