After playing games in Abu Dhabi and the central English city of Derby, the next stop for the Brazilians is Qatar, where Ronaldinho will be back in a yellow shirt for first time in 18 months after being recalled by coach Mano Menezes.

The AC Milan playmaker was left out of Brazil’s squad for this year’s World Cup but has regained some of the form that helped earn him the world player of the year award in 2004 and ‘05.

In other showcase games Wednesday, World Cup champion Spain makes the short trip to Lisbon to play Iberian neighbor Portugal, and England hosts France.
