The Mexican federation said on Wednesday that the national team will play Honduras on Oct. 9 in the deep south in Tuxtla Gutierrez. Three days later, it meets Panama at Queretaro, just north of Mexico City.
Mexico will wrap up play for 2014 with two more friendlies, against the Netherlands on. Nov. 12 in Amsterdam, and Belarus on Nov. 18 in Borisov.
