- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
The Brazilian National Team will travel to Singapore for two international friendly matches in November. According to the Brazilian Football Confederation and a joint press release from The Kallang Group and Dentsu Sports International, Brazil will face Japan on November 14 and Singapore on November 17. Both matches will take place at the National Stadium in Kallang, which has a capacity of 55,000 people.
The matches are part of the inaugural Mizuho Blue Challenge, also known as The Kallang Football Series Singapore. This event features four matches across three days from November 13 to November 17. In addition to the Brazil fixtures, Singapore will play Paraguay on November 13, and Japan will face Paraguay on November 17. Singapore head coach Gavin Lee stated that these matches are invaluable for testing the team and preparing for next year's AFC Asian Cup.
Ticket prices for the event vary. Seats for the Japan versus Brazil match start at 98 Singapore dollars, while the opening match between Singapore and Paraguay starts at 28 Singapore dollars. A single ticket starting at 98 Singapore dollars will allow fans to watch the double header on November 17. Current FIFA rankings place Brazil 5th, Japan 17th, and Paraguay 34th.
Brazil's schedule also includes a series of friendlies earlier in the autumn. The team is slated to travel to Oceania for two matches against Australia on September 25 and 29, followed by a match against India in Kolkata on October 3.
