Brothers playing for different countries? Has to be a first

[Rob]

Australian coach Frank Farina has called up Christian Vieri's younger brother Massimiliano, for the international friendly against South Africa.
Max Vieri is currently out on loan at Napoli from Juventus, but has not been a regular for the Serie B club.

Vieri holds dual nationality for both Australia and Italy, but was unlikely to force his way into Giovanni Trapattoni's thoughts.

Should Vieri impress in the game there is a chance he will be included in Farina's Olympic squad for the summer.

This would be a major boon for a player who has found himself out of favour for his club, where Davide Dionigi and Gianluca Savoldi have been the regular strike partnership.

Just a few weeks ago another Italian with dual nationality, Massimo Margiotta, was called up for Venezuela.
