Wales announce USA friendly at Swansea City's Liberty Stadium ahead of Nations League double header

Wales will face the United States of America in a friendly at the Liberty Stadium next month.

Ryan Giggs' side are currently in pole position in their Nations League group and round off their 2020/21 campaign with home matches against Republic of Ireland and Finland in November.

And ahead of that double header, Wales will take on the USA in Swansea, re-arranging the fixture that was cancelled in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Kick-off at the home of Swansea City is at 7:45pm on Thursday, November 12.

This will be only the second meeting between the nations and the first on Welsh soil.

The previous encounter took place in 2003 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose under Mark Hughes’ tenure, which ended in a 2-0 defeat.

It will be Wales' first game at the home of the Swans since they were beaten 2-1 by Croatia at the 21,000-seater venue in a World Cup qualifier in March 2013.

With all fixtures scheduled to be played behind-closed-doors for the foreseeable future, the FAW will continue to adhere to government guidelines and liaise with relevant authorities.

Supporters will be notified should arrangements change and tickets become available.

Wales' remaining 2020 fixtures are as follows:

Wales v USA – Thursday, November 12 (19:45 KO)

Wales v Republic of Ireland – Sunday, November 15 (17:00 KO)

Wales v Finland – Wednesday, November 18 (19:45 KO)
