New Zealand will play a friendly against Mexican first
division side Queretaro in preparation for a potential playoff with
Mexico for a berth at the 2014 Worlds Cup finals in Brazil.
New Zealand qualified as Oceania winners for the two-leg playoff in
November against the team finishing fourth in the CONCACAF region with
Mexico in fifth place facing a desperate fight to get to Brazil.
The top three in the six-nation final CONCACAF group go through to
the finals with the United States and Costa Rica having already booked
their tickets.
Honduras are third, three points ahead of Panama and Mexico, who
have an inferior goals record to the fourth-placed Panamanians.
Mexico host Panama at the Azteca in Mexico City on Friday looking
for their first win in five home qualifiers before visiting Costa Rica
four days later.
Queretaro are in eighth place in Mexico's Apertura championship with
four matches to go to the title playoffs for which the top eight
qualify.
The match will be played at Queretaro's Corregidora stadium on Saturday.
