Paraguay will be Mexico's opponent for its exhibition game at the Georgia Dome on May 28. It will kick off at 5 p.m.

The opponent had yet to be determined when it was announced in February that “El Tri” was returning to the Dome for a sixth time since its first game there in 2009. Tickets will go on sale March 15 at 10 a.m. on ticketmaster.

The exhibition will serve as one of two warm-up games for Mexico ahead of the Copa America Centenario. It will also be a warm-up for Paraguay.

Mexico is ranked No. 22 in FIFA’s world rankings while Paraguay, a two-time Copa America champ, is ranked No. 43.

Because the Copa America Centenario starts June 3, both squads should be strong for the game at the Dome.
