Wales will play Costa Rica in the Gary Speed Memorial match in Cardiff next month to honor its late coach who died in November.
Speed, who was found hanged at his home on Nov. 27, won the first of his outfield-record 85 Wales appearances in a 1-0 friendly victory over Costa Rica in the Welsh capital in 1990.
The Feb. 29 match at Cardiff City Stadium will be Wales' first since Speed's death.
The Football Association of Wales says ''this will be an opportunity to celebrate the life and achievements of a great servant to Welsh football, both as a player and as a manager.''

Ten percent of all profits from ticket sales will go to the chosen charities of Speed's family.
Wales has yet to name Speed's successor.
