England could be set to face Hungary in their first match at the new Wembley stadium.
Reports suggest the two old adversaries will meet again on May 30 as part of England's preparations for next year's World Cup finals.
Wembley will be the venue if rebuilding work has been completed by then, although contractors Multiplex have admitted the troubled project may face further delays.
"The English association has invited Hungary for the opening international game of the new Wembley," Hungarian Football Federation president Imre Bozoky was quoted as saying by national news agency MTI.
Hungary became the first non-British team to beat England at the old Wembley when Ferenc Puskas led them to a spectacular 6-3 success in 1953.
