Soccer fans may have to wait another three years for another World Cup, but there's plenty of exciting international action coming your way in 2011.

FIFA World Cup champion Spain will face off against the U.S. Men's National Team on June 4 at Foxborough's Gillette Stadium, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced on Friday.

The U.S. will look to earn their second win against Spain in its 12th appearance at Gillette. Currently, the U.S. has a 1-3-0 record against the top-ranked team, but they have out scored their opponents 28-6 at the home of the New England Revolution.

The last time these two teams met on the pitch was in the semifinal round of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, where the U.S. triumphed 2-0 over Spain and snapped their 35-game unbeaten streak.

The match kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m., and the game will be televised by ESPN and Univision. Ticket information has yet to be announced.
