Because Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be preparing to host college basketball’s Final Four, Atlanta United’s quarterfinal home game in the Champions League will be played at Kennesaw State’s stadium.

The Final Four will be April 4-6. It will take weeks to configure Mercedes-Benz Stadium to host the event. That work begins March 16.

Atlanta United will play the winner of the round of 16 series between Club America and Comunicaciones, which will be decided on Wednesday.

The soccer game, the second leg of the series, will be played between March 17-19.  The first leg will be played between March 10-12. The dates for the two legs will be announced on Friday.

With Tuesday's 3-0 win over Motagua, Atlanta United improved to 6-0-0 at Kennesaw State.
