The Georgia Southern Eagles men's soccer program represents Georgia Southern University in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. Founded in 1980, the Eagles currently compete in the Sun Belt Conference (SBC).[2] They played briefly as members of the Mid-American Conference. However, following a major conference realignment in 2021 brought several new men's soccer schools to the SBC including the Southeastern Conference and Big 12 Conference playing members, the league announced it would reinstate men's soccer no later than 2023.[3] The reinstatement of SBC men's soccer was ultimately pushed forward to 2022.[4]
The Eagles are coached by LEE SQUIRES. Georgia Southern plays their home matches at Eagle Field.
