AMSTERDAM, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The United States will play their final warm-up international before flying off to the World Cup finals against the Netherlands on May 19, the Dutch football association (KNVB) said.

The venue of the friendly has not been fixed but it will be at 2000 local time on the east coast of the United States.

The two teams have played only once before, before the 1998 World Cup when the Dutch won 2-0 in Miami.

The World Cup finals in South Korea and Japan open on May 31.
