The American was speaking to Wycombe Sound on Tuesday, May 23 in a live questions and answers session, where he spoke about numerous topics focusing on the future of the club.
One of the subjects focused on when the club captain’s one-off match would be played, and he revealed that it’s due to take place this summer.

Jacobson, who is now in his 10th year with the Chairboys, signed a contract extension at the back end of last season after he trigged an appearance clause in his previous deal.
Speaking live on Wycombe Sound, Couhig said: “I'm not supposed to answer it, but you might be excited about who we'll be playing and news about it should come out in the next couple of weeks or so.
“What a servant Joe has been to the club.”
Rumours are suggesting that Jacobson’s testimonial could be against his boyhood club, Cardiff City, but this is yet to be confirmed.
One thing that is certain is the match will be the only pre-season friendly to take place at Adams Park this summer.

Fans had been hoping for a couple of games at the Hillbottom Road venue ahead of the 2023/24 season, but the owner was quick to quash any idea of this taking place.
He explained: "Other than the potential testimonial, there won’t be a friendly match at Adams Park this pre-season.
"This is because we are ripping up the grass next week and we want it to be in pretty much pristine condition for when the season starts in August.

Wycombe have not had a pre-season match at home in front of a crowd since July 2021, when they defeated then-FA Cup winners Leicester City.
Daryl Horgan scored the only goal of the contest in a 1-0 win for the Chairboys.
