Australia will face Malaysia for the first time in almost 20 years when they host the Asian nation in a friendly in Canberra next month.
The two teams have met seven times previously but not since 1992 when Malaysia upset the Socceroos 1-0 in Jakarta.
The match would act as a warm-up for Australia ahead of the team's third 2014 FIFA World Cup™ qualifier against Oman in Sydney on 11 October, four days after the Canberra test.
The Socceroos currently lead Group D in Asian qualifying with six points after defeating Thailand 2-1 and Saudi Arabia 3-1.
