Brazil will be based just outside Johannesburg during the first
stage of the World Cup in South Africa.
The Brazilian Football Confederation said on Thursday the
five-time world champions will stay at the Hotel Fairway in the
nearby city of Randburg.
The five-star hotel is inside a golf club and is being
renovated to accommodate the Brazilians.
Brazil will play two matches in Johannesburg in the group
stage - against North Korea at Ellis Park on June 15 and against
Ivory Coast at Soccer City Stadium on June 20.
Brazil's final Group G match, against Portugal on June 25,
will be in Durban.
Brazil will practice for about a week in the southern
Brazilian city of Curitiba before heading to South Africa.
