Turkey will play the Czech Republic in an exhibition on May 22, the start of a tour that will see both teams play the World Cup-bound United States.
The Czechs meet the Americans on May 25, and the Turks face the U.S. on May 29 at Philadelphia.
Turkey, a 2002 World Cup semifinalist, eliminated the Czechs in the first round of the 2008 European Championship. Both nations failed to qualify for this year's World Cup.
Czech manager Vladimir Smicer said he expects Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky and Galatasaray forward Milan Baros to be on his roster. However, a player would miss the exhibition if his club advances to the European Champions League final, which is the same day in Madrid.
"We are excited to make a new match with Czech Republic once again," said Oguz Cetin, former captain of Turkish national team and currently assistant coach of Turkey told that.
"Lastly; our won against Czech National Team, opened the way of the semifinal in Euro 2008. Also with this opening match, thousands of Turkish people in USA, will meet Turkish stars. This will be historical meeting."
