The two sides last faced each other in May 2018 at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California which ended in a 0-0 draw as part of Mexico's preparations for the World Cup that year.

The Football Association of Wales has said the fixture is scheduled to be played behind closed doors, with Wales currently in Level 4 of the country's coronavirus restrictions.
