The All Whites will take part in the OSN Cup 2013 in Saudi Arabia next month as preparations continue for the final stage of Fifa World Cup qualification, the Intercontinental playoff, in November.
The four-team tournament, involving Saudi Arabia, Trinidad & Tobago, the United Arab Emirates and New Zealand is to be held at King Fahd International Stadium, Riyadh.
The All Whites will play Saudi Arabia on September 5 in the semifinal, and will play either UAE or Concacaf opponents Trinidad & Tobago on September 9.
Coach Ricki Herbert will use the tournament as preparation for the Intercontinental playoff in November.
"These games give us another opportunity to bring the team together in testing conditions." said Herbert. "International football is always difficult no matter where you go and to play in the Middle East is tough. The pace and technical ability of all teams at this tournament will be high and that will certainly test us."
