Great Britain v Brazil takes place tonight as Team GB prepare for the London 2012 Olympics.

The game at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium sees Great Britain's men play their one and only warm-up game ahead of a historic return to Olympic competition.

Stuart Pearce's side will be the first to represent Great Britain at the Olympics since 1960 and they face a tough test against the 2008 bronze medallists, who are one of the favourites to win gold at London 2012.

The game kicks off at 19:45 BST and will air live in the UK on BBC One/BBC One HD.

Team GB's Olympic games will also be broadcast by the BBC as part of their comprehensive Olympic Games coverage.

The broadcaster will provide live coverage of every London 2012 sport from every venue throughout the day, with up to 24 live streams available each day.

The flagship Olympic channels, BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC HD and BBC One HD will be dedicated to the event over the 17 days of competition.
