TORONTO (AP) — World Cup host Brazil will play Chile in an soccer exhibition match at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Nov. 19.

The contest will be played on real grass at the covered ballpark that hosts Major League Baseball’s Blue Jays.

It will be Brazil’s first game in Canada in almost 20 years and the first in Toronto. The five-time World Cup winners last played in Canada in June 1994 in Edmonton, settling for a 1-1 tie with Canada.

Brazil went on to win the World Cup later that year in the United States.
