SANTIAGO, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Chile will host South American rivals Paraguay in a June friendly as both teams prepare for the Copa America in the United States.

The match will be played at the National Stadium in Santiago on June 11, Chilean football association president Pablo Milad said on Wednesday.

It will be one of two friendlies scheduled by the entity ahead of the Copa America, to be played in 14 U.S. cities from June 20 to July 14.

"Later, we will most likely play Bolivia in the United States," Milad told Chile's ADN radio station.

Chile will open their Copa America campaign against Peru on June 21 before also facing Argentina and Canada in the group stage.

In friendlies played over the past week, Ricardo Gareca's men defeated Albania 3-0 and lost to France 3-2.
