Mexico to play Wales at Rose Bowl on Memorial Day in final tuneup for World Cup

The Mexican national team will play Wales at the Rose Bowl on May 28 in its last game before this summer's World Cup in Russia, the country's national soccer federation and Soccer United Marketing, the team's marketing arm, announced Thursday.

The game will mark the finale of a four-day Memorial Day celebration that will include a live podcast of the "Men in Blazers" show, an open training session by the Mexican team at the Rose Bowl and a game-day fan festival at the stadium.

"Los Angeles has always been a second home to the Mexican national team," said Camilo Durana, Soccer United Marketing's senior vice president.
