Lionel Messi ended up being a no-show when Atlanta United played Inter Miami at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this fall. The United States men’s national team hasn’t played in the city since 2015.
That will change this summer, as CONMEBOL on Monday announced its match schedule for the upcoming Copa América hosted by the U.S. Argentina, in Group A, will play a team to be determined at the Benz in the tournament opener on June 20, while the USMNT will be in town a week later for the 2nd of their 3 Group B matches.
The last time the USMNT was in town was in the Georgia Dome on July 22, 2015, when they fell to Jamaica 2-1 in the Gold Cup semifinals.
