New Zealand will face Colombia in Florida on 16 November before taking on Ecuador three days later in New Jersey, with both games being used as preparation for next year’s FIFA World Cup tournament that will be held across the States, Canada, and Mexico.

De Jong, who made his international debut against Canada in March 2018, has won 11 caps and scored two goals to date and joins the camp on the back of an impressive run of domestic form with Stellenbosch FC.
