LA PAZ, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Bolivia will meet South Korea and Japan in international friendlies next month, the South American country's football federation said on Monday.

The clash with South Korea will be played in Ulsan on March 22 and the duel with Japan will take place four days later in Kobe.

The matches will provide newly appointed Bolivia manager Eduardo Villegas with a final chance to appraise his players before choosing his squad for the Copa America in Brazil, which begins on June 14.

Bolivia have been drawn in Group A for the continental tournament alongside Brazil, Peru and Venezuela.

Villegas, 54, was appointed Bolivia's head coach on February 4, replacing Venezuelan Cesar Farias.
