KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will face China and Yemen in international friendlies in Guangzhou next month after the FA of Malaysia (FAM) received an updated schedule from the Chinese Football Association (CFA).

The Harimau Malaya will meet China on Nov 14 before taking on Yemen on Nov 17, according to FAM's announcement on Tuesday.

The latest FIFA rankings place China 96th in the world, Malaysia 133rd and Yemen 144th, giving the national team two different tests during the international window.

The matches will provide Malaysia with further competitive exposure following their third-place finish at the inaugural FIFA Asean Cup earlier this month.
