Five-time world champion Brazil arrived in Singapore on October 7 as part of their Brazil Global Tour ahead of their two international friendlies against Senegal (October 10) and Nigeria (October 13).

Neymar, who plays as a forward for the Brazil national team and French club Paris Saint-Germain, and Fabinho, a defensive midfielder for Brazil and English club Liverpool, were among the first to be welcomed by a group of fans at the JW Marriott Singapore. The hotel was their residence of choice for a week.

Brazil’s last visit to Singapore was in 2014 for an exhibition match against Japan, where Neymar scored all four goals in the 4-0 win at the Singapore National Stadium.

This year, the Brazilians drew 1-1 with Senegal and Nigeria for both games.
