LA PAZ, March 28 (Xinhua) -- France will host Bolivia in an international friendly in June as part of the South American team's Copa America preparations.

The match will be played on June 2 in the western French city of Nantes, the Bolivian Football Federation said in a statement late Thursday.

Bolivia have been drawn in Group A of the Copa America alongside hosts Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. La Verde will play Brazil in the continental tournament's first match in Sao Paulo on June 14.
