Mexico will play Senegal in an exhibition at Miami’s Marlins Park on Feb. 10 as preparation for World Cup qualifiers against Canada.

The game, announced Tuesday, is not on a FIFA fixture date, which means most Europe-based players will not be available.

Mexico has a World Cup qualifier at Canada on March 25, then hosts the Canadians four days later.
