UCF's addition brings the league to 10 members
NEW ORLEANS, La. - UCF will join the Sun Belt Conference as an affiliate member for men's soccer beginning Fall 2023, the conference announced this afternoon.
UCF's move to the Big XII in 2023 would see their soccer program needing a new home, since the Big XII does not sponsor men's soccer. The school and the SBC agreed to have the Knights as an affiliate member to the conference beginning in 2023, when their conference move happens.
"We are thrilled to add UCF to what is certain to become one of the nation's premier men's soccer conferences," said Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Keith Gill. "We look forward to a bright future for men's soccer in the Sun Belt."
The Sun Belt will sponsor men's soccer again this year after a one year hiatus. The Sun Belt will be composed of Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, James Madison, Marshall, and Old Dominion as core members, and affiliate members consisting of Kentucky, South Carolina, and West Virginia. Georgia Southern's first game in the new SBC is scheduled for September 17 against Old Dominion at Eagle Field.
