Football New Zealand says it will host Honduras and Paraguay in friendly internationals in October.

The venue for the Honduras match has yet to be decided but the Oct. 12 match against Paraguay will be played in Wellington, chief executive Michael Glading says in a statement Tuesday.

''We now have two World Cup sides of obvious quality coming to New Zealand with stars from the best leagues in the world.''

New Zealand held Paraguay to a draw in the group stage in South Africa during an unbeaten run at the World Cup. Despite that unbeaten record, New Zealand failed to progress to knockout stage with three draws.
