International Friendly
Belgium vs Ivory Coast
14:45 ET
Belgium were initially scheduled to play New Zealand on Thursday evening, but the friendly was called off due to coronavirus travel restrictions and a new opponent has been found.
This is the first of three games in six days for Roberto Martinez's side and the other two - the aforementioned clashes with England and Iceland - will take priority.
Ivory Coast are the first non-European side Martinez's men have faced since their run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, so this will present a different type of test.
The Elephants are in action for the first time in 11 months owing to the coronavirus pandemic, with their most recent match seeing them lose 2-1 away to Ethiopia.
They beat Niger 1-0 in their game before that - Franck Kessie scoring the only goal - and they are third in their qualifying group for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Indeed, the defeat to Ethiopia ended a three match winning run for Ivory Coast, who appointed Patrice Beaumelle as their new head coach earlier this year.
