Where will they play? Presumably in either country or failing that somewhere equidistant from both countries, perhaps Kazakhstan? No, Queens Park Rangers' ground in London of course.
Why there? And why the hell are they playing each other anyway? Loftus road was probably chosen because half or more of the players from these teams that will be going to the world Cup are based in Europe and Loftus has staged games like this before. It has hosted all kinds of strange teams who for one reason or another wanted to play in England including Jamaica, Ghana, South Africa and Australia.

They have decided to play each other because Ivory coast, or to give them their more exotic name and the name preferred by the Ivorian government, Côte d'Ivoire (Although the Guardian disagrees) have drawn North Korea in the World Cup and South Korea have drawn Nigeria.
Now it is of course forgivable that seeing as both North and South Korea have Korea in their name that they play similar styles of football and this match will give the Ivorians a great idea about what to expect in the summer and the same goes for South Korea, they have drawn an African team and what better way to prepare than to play another African team, any African team actually.
Anyway, here are some pictures of some Africans and some Koreans and a map of Africa. Just in case.
