CHICAGO (Reuters) - The United States will prepare for 2010 World Cup qualifying with a friendly international against England in London in May, organizers said on Wednesday.

The match is scheduled for May 28 at Wembley Stadium and will be the American team's first visit to England since 1994.

"We have consistently said that one of our goals is to play matches against good opponents and in environments that will really challenge our team," U.S. coach Bob Bradley said in a statement.

"In addition to the quality of the English team, the tradition and passion for the sport in that country, the media focus, and the intensity of the fans all combine to make this a fantastic opportunity for our group."

The U.S. have also lined up European friendlies against Poland on March 26 and Spain on June 4.
