New Zealand's national soccer team will play China's first division side Luneng Taishan in an international friendly here later this month.

The match on June 23 will see the New Zealanders, who had stopped Chinese from making to the World Cup finals 20 years ago, play their traditional all-attacking English-style game. The island nation in Pacific Ocean are taking the match as part of their preparations for the Pacific Ocean Cup slated for early July.

Luneng from east China's Shandong Province has been a strong side in the country's first division league, which became double winners in 1999, with the first division league and Chinese Football Association Cup titles to their credit.
