CARACAS, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela will play Trinidad and Tobago in a friendly next month as part of their preparations for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the South American country's football federation said on Monday.

The clash will take place at Estadio Olimpico in Caracas on October 14, four days after a previously announced duel with Bolivia at the same venue.

In November, the Vinotinto will meet Japan in Osaka and another yet to be confirmed opponent in their last outings before the South American zone World Cup qualifiers begin next March.

Venezuela are currently 26th in the FIFA rankings and are the only South American team to have never qualified for the World Cup finals.

Trinidad and Tobago, whose only appearance in football's showpiece event was in 2006, are currently ranked 100th.
