After a month of competition, the World Cup in Atlanta is coming to an end.
The semifinal match played on Wednesday will be the last match of the tournament hosted in Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium). It's the second of two semifinal matches, and will determine who will take on Spain at the final in New York New Jersey Stadium over the weekend.
Two teams will be returning to Atlanta's pitch for the match, as both Argentina and England have already played in the Peach State capital.
Here's what to know for Atlanta's last World Cup match.

Argentina, led by soccer star Lionel Messi, and England, led by captain Harry Kane, will both be playing in Atlanta for the second time over the course of the World Cup tournament.
England faced the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Atlanta Stadium during the round of 32, knocking out the African nation in a 2-1 comeback victory. Kane scored two late goals in the second half to bring his country back.
England defeated Norway in extra time in Miami on Saturday in the quarterfinal, securing the team's place in the semifinal for the fourth time. England made the World Cup final in 1966, but then failed to reach the semifinal again until 1990, and then again in 2018, losing both times.
Argentina played Egypt in Atlanta during the round of 16, winning 3-2. The Argentine players have also been spotted practicing at a facility at Kennesaw State University, where the team previously prepared for the Copa América tournament.
Argentina defeated Switzerland in another close match for the reigning World Cup champions in Kansas City on Saturday in the quarterfinal. Argentina has made the semifinal round six times, including in 1930, 1978, 1986, 1990, 2014 and before their World Cup win in 2022.
The winner between Argentina and England will go on to face Spain in the final.
Spain beat France in the first semifinal match of the tournament on July 14, ultimately coming out on top with a 2-0 finish. Both teams were in the conversation to win the whole thing, but only Spain will be given the chance.
The Spanish team is also relatively young, led by Lamine Yamal who just turned 19 years old, and is playing in his first World Cup.
Whether Spain faces Argentina or England, the team will be taking on more experienced players, including Messi in this sixth World Cup and Kane in his third.
The semifinal match will kick off at 3 p.m. E.T. in Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday, July 15.
It is the only World Cup match being played on Wednesday.
Buy Tickets to World Cup Semifinal in Atlanta
There are technically still tickets available for the semifinal match, but they come at a price.
As of 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, the cheapest tickets available for the semifinal start at more than $4,000 for the lower bowl. Seats in the upper decks are in the mid- to low-$3,000 range, and tickets in the best seats inside the stadium are going for closer to $10,000.
But, there is truly no bad seat in the house inside Atlanta Stadium as the 360-degree screen that encircles the roof can show the best moments of the match to every corner of the stadium.
If you've heard rumors that the food inside Atlanta Stadium is the cheapest of any World Cup venue, then you heard right.
With $2 hotdogs and $5 draft beer, a legacy of fan-friendly meals inside Mercedes-Benz continues during the World Cup.
