The German federation had already announced the match would take place before the FA's announcement.

It will be the first meeting between the pair since England's memorable 5-1 victory in Munich in September 2001 in a World Cup qualifier.

That came just a year after Germany had won 1-0 in the last England international to be played at the old Wembley -- a game that saw the end of Kevin Keegan's reign at the England helm.

It will be the last friendly Steve McClaren's men play before a make-or-break run of five Euro 2008 qualifiers which will determine whether England make next summer's finals in Austria and Switzerland.
