Tomorrow's opener in Brasilia will show how Luiz Felipe Scolari's Brazil, bidding to win the Confederations Cup for a third straight time, cope in a competitive game after two years of friendlies.
They come up against a Japan team bristling with Europe-based players who have just booked their place in the 2014 finals.
The eight-team tournament looks to be the strongest yet in its ninth edition since starting as the King Fahd Cup in 1992, and has been billed by Fifa as the "festival of champions" because it features four former or current World Cup winners.
World and European champions Spain, former World Cup winners Italy and Uruguay, Central America's Concacaf champions Mexico, African champions Nigeria and surprise Oceania champions Tahiti complete the line-up.
Six of the 12 World Cup stadiums will be tested. The final will be at Rio's revamped Maracana Stadium on June 30.
