Brazil are to play five international friendlies in the first six months of 2012, including games against arch-rivals Argentina and Mexico.

Mano Menezes' team will also play Denmark (in Germany) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (in Switzerland), the Brazilian football federation said Thursday.

A US tour sees Brazil play the US national side on either May 30 or 31, Dallas on June 3 and New Jersey six days later.

Those games will be played by a team made up of players aged under 23 years as part of the build-up to the July 27-August 12 London Olympics.
