According to sources in Brisbane, the game will be similar to last year’s pre-season match between the A-League club and South Africa’s SuperSport United, which was backed by the Queensland government.

The Aussie club recently signed a sister-club arrangement with Atletico – the former club of Arsenal’s Gilberto Silva.

Roar may even sign an attacking player from the Brazilian club in the next two weeks following coach Frank Farina’s recent trip to Brazil.
