(Reuters) - The U.S. men's national soccer team will play their first friendly against Cuba in 69 years when they meet in Havana's Estadio Pedro Marrero on Oct. 7, U.S. Soccer said on Thursday.

Their only other soccer visit to Cuba during that span was a 1-0 win for the U.S. in September 2008 during the semi-final round of qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
