MEXICO CITY — The Mexican national team will return to Houston this summer for a pre-World Cup friendly against Ghana.

El Tri played at NRG Stadium last year in a Copa America Centenario match against Venezuela, a 1-1 draw, and is headed back to Space City for a June 28 friendly.

Mexico's Confederations Cup side also will prepare for June's World Cup qualifiers and the tournament in Russia in the United States. El Tri is set to meet Croatia in Los Angeles on May 27 before heading to East Coast to face Ireland on June 1 at MetLife Stadium.

Mexico has played Ghana twice before, winning both clashes. Tickets for the game in Houston will go on sale on March 29.
