Brazil and France, two of the top five teams in the latest FIFA World Rankings, share one of international football’s most compelling cross-continental rivalries, with more than a dozen previous meetings across all competitions.

The sides previously faced off in the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup (a 1-0 France victory) and the 1998 World Cup Final, which France won 3-0. The most recent meeting between the sides took place in March 2015, with Brazil winning 3-1 in a friendly in Paris.

The upcoming clash will be the first international soccer match at Gillette Stadium since Copa América Centenario in 2016. The March 26 match will be France’s first-ever appearance at the venue, and Brazil’s sixth appearance in Foxborough all-time.
