Jacksonville will host an international friendly soccer match the weekend of Memorial Day.

The United States men’s soccer team will play Scotland at EverBank Field on Saturday, May 26th at 8pm. 

This will be the first warm-up match for the United States before FIFA World Cup qualifying begins in June.  Ticket information will be announced in the near future. 

"This is a tremendous opportunity for Jacksonville to host some of the world's top athletes in a match that will attract global attention. Jacksonville has the staff, experience and facilities to make this a fun, fan-friendly, family event for people of all ages," said Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown. "I encourage fans to fill EverBank Field and enjoy Jacksonville's Downtown on game day."

The last time the U.S. men's soccer team was in town was February of 1999, where the U.S. national team took on Germany not long after being ousted from the 1998 World Cup by that same German team.  According to the U.S. Soccer website 17,259 people showed up to watch the match that day in which the U.S. pulled out a surprise 3-0 victory.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on May 26th and the match will be shown live on the NBC Sports Network in the channel’s debut broadcast of a U.S. National Team game, as well as the Univision family of networks.  Fans can follow the match live on ussoccer.com’s MatchTracker and via Twitter @ussoccer.
