After qualifying for the World Cup, Bosnia-Herzegovina have arranged a special friendly for the international break. Sejad Salihovic's team will travel to St. Louis in America to face none other than two-time World Cup winners Argentina. Their encounter will take place in the Busch Stadium on November 18th (kick-off at 19:30 local time). However, “Sali” will not come up against Lionel Messi, with the FC Barcelona superstar out for several weeks following a hamstring injury. The Belgium national team with Koen Casteels have also qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and will play two final games in 2013 in Brussels against fellow qualifiers Colombia (14.11) and Japan (19.11).

USA international Fabian Johnson won't have to travel too far for his nation's final matches of the year. The side managed by Jürgen Klinsmann travel to face Scotland in Glasgow first (15.11), before a trip to Vienna to take on Austria (19.11). The fourth Hoffenheim player in action is Tarik Elyounoussi. Norway's vice captain will see his side play both Denmark (15.11) and Scotland (19.11).

Vestergaard and Grifo playing in European U21 Championship qualifiers

There is more than prestige at stake for the U21s, with qualifying matches for the 2015 European Championship in the Czech Republic on the cards. Jannik Vestergaard is in the Denmark squad and will travel to Bulgaria (15.11) and Andorra (19.11). Vincenzo Grifo joins up with Italy for their games against Northern Ireland (14.11) and Serbia (19.11) with the hope of keeping tabs on group leaders Belgium.

Kevin Akpoguma and Hoffenheim U19s player Benjamin Trümner are involved for the Germany U19s as well. They will play hosts France twice (13.11 and 16.11) as part of a training camp.
