The Emirates Stadium will play host to a clash between Brazil and Argentina on September 2.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) have confirmed that the Samba Boys will take on their fierce South American rivals in a friendly game next month.
Some of the world's brightest stars are expected to grace Arsenal's new 60,000-seater stadium, and are sure to be eager to impress following World Cup disappointment.
The match will be Argentina's first since losing to Germany on penalties in the quarter finals, and their first under new boss Alfio Basile.
Brazil, who also crashed out in the last eight, play Norway in Oslo on August 16.
The two sides have not met since the Confederations Cup final in Germany last year, when Brazil ran out 4-1 winners.
