Officials called for a truck to be parked alongside the pitch
after the lights went out at the Engenheiro Araripe stadium,
allowing the players to practice ahead of Thursday's friendly
against Nigeria.
The match is being played in Espirito Santo, a small coastal
state where no games were held during the 2014 World Cup. Brazil
built or renovated 12 stadiums for the competition.
Rafinha Alcantara (Barcelona), Andreas Pereira (Manchester
United) and Felipe Anderson (Lazio) are among the biggest names
in a squad that will try to win Olympic gold for the first time
in August in Rio de Janeiro.
