BERN, Switzerland — The Switzerland Football Association says it will play World Cup host Brazil in a home friendly in August, and the countries have agreed to meet again in the 2015-16 season. The Swiss FA said the Aug. 14 match is scheduled at FC Basel's St. Jakob Park stadium. Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said the fixture is a sign of his team's growing reputation. Switzerland leads its World Cup qualifying group and is currently ranked No. 13 by FIFA. Brazil is No. 18 after losing ground playing only friendlies because it qualifies directly as host of the 2014 World Cup. — AP
