Atlanta United will host either Jacksonville or Charleston, its USL affiliate, in the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Atlanta United intends to play the game June 14 at Kennesaw State, according to an Atlanta United spokesman.

Charleston will play Jacksonville on May 31 at Southern Oak Stadium in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville (2-1-4) plays in the NASL. It defeated Miami United 2-1 in the second round.

Charleston (7-1-1) plays in the USL. The Battery’s roster includes Atlanta United loanees Romario Williams and Jeffrey Otoo. It defeated the Silverbacks 2-1 in the second round.
