Serbia and Montenegro will meet Norway in a friendly international in Belgrade on 31 March.
Finals meeting
The match should help both sides with their preparations for their 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaigns after missing out on UEFA EURO 2004™. It will be their first meeting since Savo Milosevic's goal gave Yugoslavia a 1-0 win at UEFA EURO 2000™.
'Brilliant test'
"Norway are a really good and strong team, and this will be a brilliant test for us," said Serbia and Montenegro coach Ilija Petkovic. The two countries' respective Under-21 sides will also meet on 31 March, with Novi Sad the likeliest venue.
