How will Brazil line up at the Rio Olympics?

With Neymar set to lead the charge for gold, coach Dunga has no shortage of options with a talented generation of youngsters complemented by two more senior players.

On Thursday, Brazil discovered the group-stage opponents forming the first bump on the road to a long-awaited gold medal.

Coach Dunga will lead the team in Rio and will first have to negotiate Group A, in which his side will meet South Africa, Iraq and Denmark. A strong side made up of talented young players complemented by a trio of world stars, accompanied by home advantage, makes Brazil the favorite heading into the 2016 games.
