China's Olympic soccer team is to play three friendly matches next month in England, part of the club's two-week training session with English premier league team Chelsea.

The Chinese Football Association confirmed Tuesday that its Olympic team will face Chelsea's reserve team on Feb. 5, followed by matches against Queens Park Rangers on Feb. 8 and Brentford on Feb. 16.

Queens Park plays in the League Championship, the level just below the Premier League. Brentford plays in League One, two rungs below the Premier League.

China, coached by Ratomir Dujkovic, is training in France and is expected to arrive in London on Feb. 1.
