Updated: February 20th, 2012 at 9:12 PM with response from the New England Revolution.<\/em><\/p>\n

At Thursday night\u2019s Supporters\u2019 Summit, New England Revolution President Brian Bilello mentioned the team was working on a doubleheader for the Revs’ home opener on March 24th.<\/p>\n

It now appears, according to multiple reports, that the Canadian Women\u2019s National Team and the Brazilian Women\u2019s National Team will face off on that same date at Gillette Stadium in a friendly match to prepare for the 2012 London Olympics, presumably as the\u00a0second game in that doubleheader.<\/p>\n

While a spokesperson for the\u00a0New England Revolution confirmed to New England Soccer Today<\/em> that the team was working on a doubleheader, the Revs are not ready to announce the participants yet and would not confirm or deny the report.<\/p>\n

The Revs are currently scheduled to face the Portland Timbers at 4 PM on Saturday, March 24th. It is unclear whether the Brazil-Canada clash would fall before or after the game or even if the Revs match will stay at the currently scheduled time.<\/p>\n

Brazil is currently fourth in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings, while Canada sits at seventh. Brazil is led by five-time FIFA World Player of the Year Marta, a forward who has scored 80 goals in 72 international games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
