Who's playing? Mexico and Iceland will face each other in an interesting friendly match to be played in the city of Las Vegas.

What stadium? Sam Boyd Stadium, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be the venue hosting this match. A sellout crowd of 40,000 fans is expected for this game, which will mark El Tri's debut in Sin City.
