COPENHAGEN (AP) -- The U.S. soccer team will play an exhibition match against fellow World Cup qualifier Denmark on Nov. 18 in Aarhus.

The Americans also plan to play in Europe on Nov. 14. The 24 matches for the U.S. team this year will be the most since 1994, when it played 27 in the year the Americans hosted the World Cup.

The U.S. qualified for next year's tournament by rallying for a 3-2 victory at Honduras on Saturday and closes qualifying on Wednesday against Costa Rica in Washington.

Denmark and the U.S. have played five times but never in Denmark. Each team has won once, with three ties. The last time they met was a 3-1 American victory on Jan. 20, 2007, at Carson, Calif., in Bob Bradley's first game as coach of the U.S. team.

Next month's match will be at NRGi Park, the stadium of Aarhus -- the club of American midfielder Benny Feilhaber.

Denmark also will play South Korea, another World Cup qualifier, on Nov. 14.
