England will play Brazil their first match at the new Wembley stadium on 1st June, the Football Association has announced. The match - England's first at Wembley for seven years - will provide a test for the side ahead of their Euro 2008 qualifier in Estonia five days later.

FA chief executive Brian Barwick said: "It's a fantastic match to mark the end of seven years on the road."

Director of communications Adrian Bevington said: "There will not be any problems with ticket allocations because Wembley will be the biggest stadium in the country to host these games.

During Wembley's £757m reconstruction, England have played at various club grounds around the country.
