The South American power will tune up for the Copa America against CONCACAF rivals.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has announced it will face a pair of CONCACAF opponents prior to this summer's Copa America.

Brazil will face Mexico on June 7 and Honduras on June 10 before beginning its run at the South American championship June 14 against Peru.

The Selecao and El Tri last met at the 2014 World Cup when Guillermo Ochoa turned in a Man of the Match performance to keep the group match knotted at 0-0. Mexico will also be competing in the Copa America as one of two guest teams. Mexico has March friendlies scheduled against Ecuador and Paraguay and will face the United States in April. El Tri will square off with Honduras on July 1 in Houston in preparation for the Gold Cup.

Honduras' last time against Brazil wasn't so successful, falling 5-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly in 2014. Los Catrachos have found success against Brazil before, though, with Saul Martinez's double sending the Hondurans through in the 2001 Copa America quarterfinals. Honduras must qualify for the Gold Cup by beating French Guiana in a two-legged playoff later this month, but new coach Jorge Luis Pinto will expect victory in that tie and must prepare his team for July's continental championship. In addition to the matches against Brazil and Mexico, Honduras is set to visit Paraguay for a friendly June 6. Local media reports indicate Honduras is also seeking to finalize a friendly against Ethopia.

Pinto's reputation apparently was part of the reason the friendly came through.

"We're happy about this match against Brazil, and the reason we got it, they told us, is because of Jorge Luis Pinto," Honduras FA president Rafael Callejas told reporters. "They asked Brazil's manager (Dunga) what he thought of Honduras and he said while Pinto is manager, [we'll play them] with great pleasure."

Mexico has yet to confirm the friendly, and locations have not been announced, though Folha reported the match against Honduras will take place in Porto Alegre.
