Fresh from the African Nations Cup held in Angola, Ivory Coast will be taking on fellow World Cup finalist South Korea in a friendly match in London on 3 March.

The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) says the match will be played at Loftus Road, the home of Championship side Queens Park Rangers.

Even though a new coach is yet to be appointed following a possible replacement of Vahid Halilhodzic, the FA is already preparing for South Africa 2010, which is some four months away.

South Korea are in Group B with Argentina, Nigeria and Greece.
