Full Report: Olympic football in Newcastle

The eyes of the world will be looking on the region as Brazil, Spain and Mexico's football teams battle it out at St. James' Park.

They'll be playing at Newcastle's ground which, for the duration of the games, will revert to being called St James' Park as opposed to the Sports Direct Arena.

While some fans may be disappointed that Team GB won't be coming too, there is speculation that they'll play at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium as part of a testing programme beforehand.
