Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) president Ricardo Teixeira told reporters Brazil would not be playing any friendlies at home in the near future.
He said in return, European clubs where most of Brazil's top players are based, would drop their opposition to the South American World Cup qualifying system in which the 10 teams play each other twice over a period of nearly three years.
"It's impossible," Teixiera told reporters after being asked if Brazil would play any home friendlies.
"There's a five-hour time difference, a 12-hour flight and a demand in the agreement which allow us to keep the qualifying system in which we can only play (friendlies) within four or five hours' flying time (of Europe)," he said.
"This makes it impossible for us to play in South America or Asia."
Brazil have played four international friendlies since the World Cup in Europe.
In addition to an away game against Norway, the five-times world champions have played neighbours Argentina in London, Ecuador in Stockholm and Wales, also in London.
They also played an exhibition match in Kuwait against a local selection.
