Atlanta United will host Charleston Battery in the Fourth Round of the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
The match will be held at Kennesaw State’s Fifth Third Bank Stadium on June 14.
Tickets are available on Friday at noon and can be found on Kennesaw State's Sports and Entertainment Park website. Tickets for Atlanta United Founding Members go on sale at 10 a.m. on Thursday.
A clear-bag policy will be enforced at Fifth Third Bank Stadium for the U.S. Open Cup. The policy will be similar to Kennesaw State’s football policy implemented before the 2016 football season.
“We’re excited to play our USL affiliate club Charleston as we make our debut in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup,” Atlanta United President Darren Eales said. “This is a prestigious tournament with long-standing history that provides an opportunity for clubs to play in the CONCACAF Champions League, and ultimately the FIFA Club World Cup.
“We’re hoping for a long cup run in our inaugural season and are excited for the intimate stadium experience that Kennesaw State and Fifth Third Bank Stadium provides our supporters.”
The champion of the 2017 U.S. Open Cup will automatically qualify for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League.
Charleston Battery (7-2-2, 23 points) advanced to U.S. Open Cup play on Wednesday night after defeating the Jacksonville Armada, 1-0.
