Argentina face Uruguay and Costa Rica in November break, Brazil meet Japan and Singapore

Argentina and Brazil will both play in the November international football break. In the post-Lionel Messi era, Argentina, and Brazil under Carlo Ancelotti, will each play two matches. Argentina's opponents are Uruguay and Costa Rica, while Brazil will face Japan and Singapore.

Argentina will play both of its matches at home in the November international break. In the first match, Lionel Scaloni's side will face Uruguay at the Bombonera in Buenos Aires at 5am Bangladesh time on 14 November.

Then, on 17 November, the three-time world champions will play Costa Rica at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Cordoba. The exact kick-off time for that match has not yet been confirmed.

Meanwhile, five-time world champions Brazil will play two matches on their Asia tour. On 14 November, Ancelotti's side will face Japan at the National Stadium in Singapore. The match will start at 4:15pm Bangladesh time.

Three days later, on 17 November, Brazil will play hosts Singapore at the same venue. That match will start at 4pm Bangladesh time.

The break matters for both sides. Argentina are busy settling the team in the era after Messi, while Brazil are moving forward with a new shape under Ancelotti. Playing Uruguay and Costa Rica at home, Argentina will want to keep their momentum going.

Brazil, meanwhile, will have the chance to test their rhythm in the two matches in Asia against Japan and hosts Singapore. Both matches will be played at Singapore's National Stadium.
