Mexico, Bafana Bafana's opening opponents in the World Cup on June 11, has lined up Angola as their sixth and final warm-up match in the United States.
Mexico and Angola met four years ago in Germany, with the Southern Africans pulling out a surprising 0-0 draw against Mexico.
Angola failed to qualify for the South African showpiece after reaching the World Cup finals for the first time in 2006.
Angola crashed out in the second round of qualifying for the 2010 event, losing out in the group topped by Benin that also featured Uganda and Niger.
In January, Angola played host the Africa Cup of Nations and lost out to Ghana in the quarter-finals.
According to a Goal.com report, as part of their US tour, Mexico will play Iceland (in Charlotte on March 24), Ecuador (May 7 in New York) and Senegal (in Chicago on May 10) before meeting Angola in Houston.
Mexico will also play games in Mexico prior to leaving for Europe, against North Korea (in Torreon on March 17) and Chile (at Estadio Azteca on May 16).
