The Selecao will be without the injured Neymar until the trip to the USA, Canada and Mexico in June but will be keen to build up their fitness ahead of what could be a memorable summer for the South American side.
Panama are also looking to get some valuable minutes in the tank, as they prepare for a tough World Cup campaign, featuring alongside England in the group stages.
