The Army Black Knights men's soccer program represents the United States Military Academy (West Point) in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. Founded in 1921, the Black Knights compete in the Patriot League. The Black Knights play in the Patriot League and are coached by Russell Payne, a former goalkeeper who played in the A-League (the United Soccer League's second division predecessor). Army plays their home matches at Clinton Field in West Point, New York.
In 1945, Army was declared co-national champions by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association, the predecessor to the NCAA, making it the only season Army won a national championship of any kind in men's college soccer. Much of the program's success in NCAA came in the 1960s, when they were regulars in the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship. From 1963 until 1967 Army reached the College Cup (final four) for four consecutive seasons, although the program never managed to reach the national championship. The program regularly made appearances through the mid-1970s before having a dip in form. The program once again qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 1996, but have failed to qualify since then.
Several notable military personnel and professional soccer players played for the Black Knights including Winston Boldt.
