Brazil have signed an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to use the Premier League club's facilities ahead of this year's World Cup in Russia.

The five-time World Cup winners will train in London ahead of friendlies against Croatia on June 3, at an English venue yet to be decided, and Austria on June 10 in Vienna.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said in a statement: "In addition to the friendlies, a partnership has been made official with Tottenham FC, who will make their facilities available for training as from May 28.

"The selecao will have a gym, swimming pool and two official-size football pitches available to them, as well as a recently built hotel inside the training centre."

Brazil kick off their World Cup campaign against Switzerland on June 17 before facing Costa Rica and Serbia in Group E.
