Gillette Stadium to host Brazil-France exhibition match in March

FOXBORO, Mass. — The road to the FIFA World Cup begins in March with a friendly meeting between Brazil and France at Gillette Stadium

The March 26 showdown will be the first international match at Gillette Stadium in a decade.

The exhibition will be part of the “Road to 26” -- a series of international exhibitions leading into the World Cup in June.

Massachusetts is home to one of the largest Brazilian populations in the country but missed out on hosting a match during this summer’s World Cup.

Tickets for the friendly will go on sale on Ticketmaster on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m.
