The FA said it also plans two more preparatory internationals on May 31 and June 4 but the opposition have still to be finalised.

They play their opening Group B match against champions Spain in Salvador on June 13 in a repeat of the 2010 final that the Dutch lost in extra-time. The other two teams in the section are Australia and Chile.

Ecuador are in Group E along with Switzerland, France and Honduras.
