Wales are set to play the Netherlands at the Cardiff City Stadium in a friendly next month, as part of their Euro 2016 preparation.

Originally, it was thought the game would be played at the Millennium Stadium but the FAW has announced it will take place at Cardiff City Stadium on the 13th of November.

Manager Chris Coleman said he wanted to play strong opposition after Wales qualified for the European Championship, for the first time in 58 years.

The two countries last met in June 2014, where the Netherlands won 2-0 in their final warm-up game ahead of the World Cup in Brazil.

Wales manager Chris Coleman told the FAW website "We look forward to welcoming the Dutch to Cardiff for what I'm sure will prove to be a valuable and entertaining match as we begin preparations for Euro 2016 in France."
