CHICAGO (AP) The U.S. soccer team will play an exhibition against Brazil on Sept. 8 at Foxborough, Massachusetts.

The game, announced Thursday, follows a Sept. 4 match against Peru at Washington, D.C.

American goalkeeper Tim Howard hopes to return for the games from his one-year sabbatical from the national team after last year's World Cup. The U.S. is 1-16 against Brazil.

The Americans will play Mexico or Jamaica on Oct. 9 to determine which team represents CONCACAF in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. As the 2013 Gold Cup champ, the U.S. will face the 2015 winner in the playoff.
