Tickets are sold out for Wednesday’s Gold Cup matches at the Georgia Dome, according to CONCACAF.

More than 68,000 fans are expected, which would break a record for soccer of 68,212 in Atlanta set last year when Mexico played Nigeria at the dome.

The U.S. will play Jamaica at 6 p.m. and Mexico will face Panama at 9 p.m.

The U.S., the defending champ, hasn’t played in Atlanta since 1977.
