Wales will face Trinidad & Tobago in a friendly fixture at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground next March.
Given that Ryan Giggs' side were drawn in a group of five in their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, they were left which two spare matchdays in which they must play friendly matches due to UEFA rules.
And the FAW have announced that they will play at the Racecourse for the first time in more than a decade, with Giggs' side set to host Trinidad & Tobago at the home of the Dragons on Wednesday, March 20 next year.
Speaking about taking the national side back to the Racecourse, Giggs commented: "I’m delighted that we’re able to play at the Racecourse for the first time in 10 years.
"We thoroughly enjoyed taking the team there for an open training session in May. The support was incredible and further fuelled our ambition to host a match at the historic ground.
"Trinidad & Tobago will prove an interesting test for us and will be great preparation ahead of the EURO 2020 qualifying campaign."
The match comes four days before Wales kick-off their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign against Slovakia at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday, March 24.
Wales' only previous meeting with Trinidad & Tobago came in May 2006 when a brace from Rob Earnshaw earned John Toshack's side a 2-1 win in Austria.
Their last fixture at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground was a 3-0 friendly win over Norway in February 2008.
Ticket information will be announced in due course on faw.cymru.
