"It's good to be able to confirm our final friendly, which will round off our preparations for the tournament. Bolivia will provide us with a feel for South American opposition, and will no doubt give us a stern test as they recover from the disappointment of defeat in the World Cup play-offs."
"Bolivia are currently ranked 76th in the world - 70 places lower than Brazil and 33 below Scotland, who are down five places after their latest two friendly defeats."
Scotland confirmed a friendly match against Bolivia on June 6 in New Jersey, serving as their last preparation before the World Cup. The match will be broadcast live on the BBC. Bolivia, ranked 76th in the world, missed World Cup qualification after losing to Iraq in the inter-confederation play-off. Scotland's head coach, Steve Clarke, emphasized the importance of facing South American opposition to prepare for their group matches against Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti. Scotland aims to improve their performance after recent friendly losses to Japan and Ivory Coast.
