The United States men's national soccer team, locked in a tight battle to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, will conclude semifinal qualifying with a match against Trinidad and Tobago at EverBank Field on Sept. 6, a source close to the negotiations confirmed to the Times-Union.

A press conference hosted by the Jaguars to announce the match is set for Tuesday, though neither city officials or the Jaguars have revealed any details.

The U.S. is in third place in the Group C standings after three matches with 4 points, behind Trinidad and Tobago (7 points) and Guatemala (6 points), which beat the MNT 2-0 last week in Guatemala City. The U.S. team, coached by Jurgen Klinsmann, could move into second place if it beats Guatemala Tuesday night in a rematch at Columbus, Ohio. Only the top two teams from Group C advance to the next round of qualifying.

Jacksonville was likely chosen for the final home match of semifinal qualifying on the strength of a record turnout of 52,033 in 2014 for a World Cup sendoff match against Nigeria, which the U.S. won 2-1.

Klinsmann has been bullish on Jacksonville hosting the U.S. national team since that day, saying after the Nigeria match: "Jacksonville has been tremendous to us. It's something very special when you come to a place that welcomes the national team in an amazing way."

Sources also told the Times-Union that the Jaguars and owner Shad Khan were heavily involved in the negotiations to bring the USMNT to EverBank.

Depending on how the U.S. team fares Tuesday night, the Trinidad and Tobago match could decide whether the U.S. stays alive for a World Cup berth.
