MADRID (AFP) - World Cup champions Spain will face Venezuela in a friendly in the South American country on June 1, the Spanish football federation announced Friday.

It said the venue for the match has yet to be determined.

Spain has already agreed to play the United States in a friendly in Boston on June 4, the first encounter between the two sides since the USA defeated Spain 2-0 in the semi-final of the Confederations Cup in South Africa in 2009.

Spain, which tops its Euro 2012 qualifying Group I with a 100 percent record, faces Liechtenstein at home in its next match on September 6.
