Austin FC’s Q2 Stadium just opened last month but it’s already on its way to becoming a U.S. soccer fixture. The women’s national team played a pre-Olympic friendly there, it’ll host a Concacaf Gold Cup semifinal next week and then on Oct. 7, it’ll be the site of the World Cup qualifier between the U.S. men and Jamaica. U.S. Soccer announced its decision late Thursday.
The USMNT-Jamaica match will be the fourth of 14 that each team must play in Concacaf’s World Cup qualifying octagonal, which will send the top three finishers to next year’s tournament in Qatar and the fourth-place side to an intercontinental playoff.
