Seattle soccer fans, rejoice! After getting passed over for nearly 40 years, Seattle will finally host another World Cup qualifying match. On June 11, the U.S. Men’s National team plays Panama at CenturyLink Field as the squad continues its quest to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Expect a wild crowd as stars like Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley take the pitch.

Even though CenturyLink can hold 67,000, only 42,000 seats will be sold for the game (typical capacity for a Sounders game is ~38,500), so expect these tickets to go quickly. Tickets range from $50–$250 and go on sale to the general public on April 2 at 10am at ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-747-3000.

World Cup Qualifier: United States v. Panama
June 11 at 6:30, CenturyLink Field, $50–$250.
